"I'm thrilled to finally share The Marvels with readers after three years of intense work on the book, including living briefly in London and spending an entire year drawing the pictures," Selznick said in a news release.Brian Selznick, the author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck is at it again with his latest novel The Marvels. Tuesday marks the release of The Marvels and we couldn’t be more excited.We’re happy to have the change to jump on board with our friends over at Scholastic to help get the word out about this incredible new book. Various mysteries come together over the course of the book. The "word" story opens in 1990 and tracks a boy called Joseph who has run away from school in London. The illustrated story begins in 1766 with the lone survivor of a shipwreck named Billy Marvel, and follows the adventures of his family over five generations. Here's a first look at the jacket of The Marvels (ages 10 and up), described as a "multi-layered reading experience" that combines two "seemingly unrelated stories." It's his first book since 2011's Wonderstruck. Now Selznick will return with a new book, The Marvels, due Sept. Few authors combine words and pictures as creatively as Brian Selznick, whose 2007 book The Invention of Hugo Cabret won a Caldecott Medal and was adapted for film by Martin Scorsese.
