- Don't miss Selznick's other novels in words and pictures, The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck, which together with The Marvels, form an extraordinary thematic trilogy!
- A breathtaking new voyage from Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick.
- Two stand-alone stories--the first in nearly 400 pages of continuous pictures, the second in prose--create a beguiling narrative puzzle.
- The journey begins at sea in 1766, with a boy named Billy Marvel.
- After surviving a shipwreck, he finds work in a London theatre.
- There, his family flourishes for generations as brilliant actors until 1900, when young Leontes Marvel is banished from the stage.
- Nearly a century later, runaway Joseph Jervis seeks refuge with an uncle in London.
- Albert Nightingale's strange, beautiful house, with its mysterious portraits and ghostly presences, captivates Joseph and leads him on a search for clues about the house, his family, and the past.
- A gripping adventure and an intriguing invitation to decipher how the two stories connect, The Marvels is a loving tribute to the power of story from an artist at the vanguard of creative innovation.
