The Reading Bug is honored to host Caldecott-winning author Brian Selznick at Tierra Linda Middle School Gym!  We love The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck with their gorgeous drawings throughout and wonderful stories, so we can't wait to see him present his latest masterpiece, THE MARVELS!!!

Take a look at how Brian put together his book trailer for The Marvels here!

His first book, The Houdini Box, was inspired by a fascination with the famous magician. He has illustrated both novels and picture books for other writers, including the Sibert Honor books, When Marian Sang by Pam Munoz Ryan and Walt Whitman: Words for America by Barbara Kerley. His illustrations for Barbara Kerley's The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins won a Caldecott Honor Award in 2002; and in 2008, his groundbreaking book The Invention of Hugo Cabret was awarded the Caldecott Medal. It was nominated for a National Book Award and was the basis for Martin Scorsese's Oscar winning film Hugo. His follow up illustrated novel, Wonderstruck, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
