ORPHAN, CLOCK KEEPER, AND
THIEF, twelve-year-old Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station,
where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world
suddenly interlocks with an eccentric girl and the owner of a small toy booth in
the train station, Hugo’s undercover life, and his most precious secret, are
put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a
mechanical man, and a hidden message all come together...in The Invention of
Hugo Cabret. (Brian Selznick)
Hugo Cabret is an
excellent book. It kept me wanting to read more and more. The story is told in
both words and pictures to capture every detail mentioned, so the reader can
have an idea of what the passages really look like. I like books that take you
back in time and really make you focus on the reality of it really happening. It’s
so intriguing, and mysterious, that I sometimes wondered throughout the story
if Hugo Cabret really existed. This is also a must read.
