The Invention of Hugo Cabret

I fell in love with this book from the opening drawing of the moon casting a glow over 1930s Paris. Part picture book, part novel, it is such a unique storytelling experience. It is rendered entirely in black and white - but there's a world of colour to be found in the characters and the unfolding mystery. I read loads of kids books to vet them for my own children first - but this one is definitely a favorite of mine, as well as theirs!

well i really in joyed this book in fact i just got done reading it i am the fastest reader in my eighth grade class and i have a very advanced reading level along with my friend steven. This book was full of suprises and i expect to see many more like it and in fact im getting another brian selznick book right now well until next time i have too say good night

this is the best book i have ever read, at the end of part one i got so surprised. i cried when the book ended be cause i couldn't read it any more (not because it was sad) i would recommend this book to evreyone and everyone i DID recommend it to LOVED it :)

I’m a Brian Selznick fan. After reading Wonderstruck, I had to read the Invention of Hugo Cabret. Only Brian Selznick can write about automaton, an orphan boy, a retired movie maker and a train station in Paris and create a wonderful story.

Through images and words, the story of Hugo is really the story of Georges Méliès, a filmmaker and how he is found by a little orphaned boy, living in the train station in Paris and the automaton that brings them together. Well researched and stitched together, this book has a bit of something for everyone.

Read this book with your child and then watch the wonderful movie adaptation.

this is the best book in the world!!!!!! i want to see the movie so bad LOVE THI BOOK !!!!!!!!

THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!!!!!
