This unique setting and timeline is interesting and clever and the story is sweet and hopeful.

I didn't like this one as much as Wonderstruck, but this author/illustrator continues to impress me with his massive, gorgeous, thought-provoking books!

I have mixed feelings of this book. I found it to be wholesome and the characters very likeable but I just didn’t get the same heartwarming experience I did from Brian’s other novels. This was more of a creative science lesson told partly through his great illustrations. It’s just not really my thing, but I see the vision and it is well done.
