Брайан Селзник4.5 От «создателя шедевров» (The Washington Post), писателя и художника Брайана Селзника, автора бестселлера The New York Times «Хранитель времени», экранизация которого принесла легендарному режиссеру Мартину Скорсезе 5 премий Оскар.
Выполненный в той же технике, роман в картинках «Мир, полный чудес» – это атмосферная, глубокая, искренняя и немного грустная книга о том, что значит – любить и быть любимым.
Виртуозно переплетая текст и иллюстрации, Селзник создает две совершенно разные истории. Одна, рассказанная в картинках, о девочке Розе, которая собирает вырезки и фотографии загадочной актрисы. Вторая, рассказанная в прозе, о мальчике Бене, который ищет своего отца. Между этими двумя историями лежит пропасть длиною в полвека...

Wendelin Van Draanen4.2 An award-winning and inspiring novel. When Jessica's dreams are shattered, she puts herself back together—and learns to dream bigger than ever before.
Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?
As she struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don't know what to say, act like she's not there. Which she could handle better if she weren't now keenly aware that she'd done the same thing herself to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she's missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.
With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But that's not enough for her now. She doesn't just want to cross finish lines herself—she wants to take Rosa with her.
