i can't say i loved this as much as Brian's other books, but it was nice to go back and see how much he's evolved as a writer!

And to think I never knew Brian Selznick wrote a book about me. If only it were longer!

Even though this was by far not my favorite Brian Selznick book, I still loved it with all of my heart. Very well done.

How the heck does Selznick make such heartwarming stories? He gives me faith. ❤️

I love the idea of kids being into old silent horror movies. I think this might be a good choice for someone looking for a book for a younger reader that spooks easily. It's moody and kind of spooky without being actually scary. It would make a good lap read-aloud, and I think there are a lot of cool extension activities you could do (watching silent movies, monster dress up, letter writing to a local celebrity, stamp designing, etc.).

It's been a while since I've read this book. Seems like I didnt like it when I read it. Can't remember what the book was about though. Guess it didn't make an impression on me.
