The only book that really stands our for me this year so far is Wonderstruck. I enjoy Selznicks approach proving that picture driven doesn't have to mean younger audience or less quality text. I really enjoy his work. The fact that there are two deaf characters in the book is icing on the cake, which is great. Many deaf character books are formulaic and didactic. This one is refreshing.
