THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET: A NOVEL IN WORDS AND PICTURES
In THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET by Brian Selznick Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station. He is an orphan, clock keeper, and thief. In the train station his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. The old man who runs the toy booth and a young girl who loves books enters Hugo's life, and everything is at risk including Hugo's most precious secret. The secret includes a notebook, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father. This is a mystery you can not put down. Although the book appears very big, 526 pages big; wonderful illustrations replace words to move the story along.
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR YOUNG TEENS IN GRADES 6 TO 8.
