Chris Van Allsburg’s tale of haunting and mystery leaves much open to imagination and speculation. With such rich, irresistible text it is guaranteed to make any young reader think. The illustrations are absolutely captivating. Bright color and detail combine brilliantly together, perfectly drawing specific emphasis to many of Allsburg’s hidden clues. One can not help but be drawn to the stranger’s character. Full of surprise and secrecy the stranger is a man to be desired.
