1. this is Brian Selznick's personal discovery. "I came across a book called Edison’s Eve by Gaby Wood, where I learned that Georges Méliès, the man who made the first science-fiction movie, A Trip to the Moon, in 1902, had owned a collection of automata, and at the end of his life they’d been destroyed and thrown away. I had seen A Trip to the Moon long ago and loved it. As soon as I learned about Méliès’s lost automata, I suddenly, mysteriously, imagined a boy climbing through the garbage and finding one of those broken machines. It was almost like a flash of light had gone off in my head. Here was the beginning of a story." to learn more visit [] 2. as i said before, he is making a another book. although it is not a sequal it is a very good book! Emma
