(2) 4-6 Pictures follow a girl, Rose, in 1927; the text is set in 1977 where a boy, Ben, struggles with hearing loss. The two eventually meet: as an adult, Rose works at New York's Museum of Natural History, where Ben also finds himself. Ben's story suffers from an excess of telling rather than showing; nevertheless, there is much technical brilliance and genuine heart here.
