The Invention of Hugo Cabret

About This Book

Hugo Cabret lives secretly in the walls of a Paris railway station, tending the clocks and obsessively trying to repair an automaton his father found. His search leads him to the forgotten genius Georges Méliès and the magical early history of cinema. Brian Selznick's extraordinary novel is half told in words and half in detailed pencil drawings — a book that reinvented what a book can be. Caldecott Medal winner.
