The Marvels


Description

From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret"and "Wonderstruck"comes a breathtaking new voyage.

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 mystery "The Marvels"is a loving tribute to the power of story. "
