Not quite a novel, a picture book, nor a graphic
novel. This book stands on its own in
style and presentation. The magical
world created by Selznick is set in Paris.
His illustrations takes us where the characters are living. The vivid experiences the characters go
through and their outcome give the readers a sprinkle of magical touch.
