![]() We’re of the mind that Joseph and his dog Blink have a lot more in common with “The Marvels” and with Joseph’s “Uncle” than they think. The watchface is off-center, and the glass is scuffed at the 15 minute mark. ![]() We received the following clue in the mail–a gold wristwatch stopped at 11:16 (and 23 seconds), with the date frozen on the number 22. Also, Joseph’s uncle’s house sounds like it’s pretty cool. The explicit mention of “time travel”? Well that makes us think that time travel must play a role in this somehow. Joseph loves to read, and has just–we think–discovered his Uncle’s home. (Did the kraken sink the ship? Was the ship’s name The Kraken? QUESTIONS.) Also immediately apparent is the fact that the boy and dog in the illustration are the eact same boy and dog featured on the newspaper–a detail that the woman in the bonnet behind the aforementioned old-timey newspaper-reading man has discovered to great alarm. ![]() Things we notice–the newspaper being clutched by the old-timey newspaper-reading man in overcoat says that the setting is London, and that apparently a kraken is involved in a shipwreck. To gear up for the release of The Marvels, we have a few clues to unravel–and some goodies to reveal. The Marvels tells two different stories, one through pictures, the other through words, and follows young Joseph as he tries to piece together clues found in his Uncle’s mystery-shrouded home about his family legacy. We are thrilled to be a stop on the blog tour for Brian Selznick’s newest book: The Marvels! ![]()
