The Marvels

Brian Selznick

Black-and-white illustrations trace generations of the Marvels, an English theater family, from 1766 to 1900. In 1990, Joseph runs away from boarding school and arrives at his Uncle Albert’s Victorian London home. With Albert’s neighbor Frankie, he investigates the famous theater family that once lived there. Their search through rooms, belongings, and letters raises questions about how the Marvels connect to Albert and Joseph.
