WORDS AND PICTURES

The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a 533-page novel by Brian Selznick, is an incredibly imaginative book which tells its story through words and pictures. While we anxiously await the arrival of our copy of Selznick's new book Wonderstruck, you should take a look at The Memory Bank by Carolyn Coman and Rob Shepperson. These author/illustrators also tell a story in words and pictures. Hope Scroggins is a champion dreamer. When the World Wide Memory Bank starts running low on dreams,Hope is brought to the Bank. It is at the Bank that Hope finds out she has a little sister that her parents told her to forget!! Can Hope figure out what is happening to the Bank AND find her sister AND get a chance at happiness? Only the words and pictures of The Memory Bank can tell.
