Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, 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, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the 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 from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.

This book is great if you love the movie you will definetly love this book. This is the biggest book I have evr read, and im not a big reader, and it is my favorite book ! P.S the drawings are the amazin <3

This was probably one of the best books i have ever readd! it was amazing. Once you started reading it, i just couldnt stop. it felt like i was falling into a trap like i couldnt stop reading it! i loved it and i highly suggest you to read it. Also it has a lot of pictures!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret was cool because of all the pictures! My favorite part was when the Station Inspector and Hugo chased. And sorry about the no avatar thing.

I really like this book because its very exciting.The book is so much better than the movie!! Hugo is very smart.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret was cool because of all the pictures! My favorite part was when the station inspector and Hugo chased.

I really like the movie, as well as the book! The book contains many hand-drawn sketches and words. I really like this story-a sad but adventurous one.

hugo cabret is a great book and movie my favorite character is isabell.i like her because she looks pretty in the movie. Hugo looks verry different. And the movie is verry advetourous!!!!

The book was ok. Not because I watched the movie but because it only focused on one thing and it didn't have much of adventure

I think the book was great! I liked it because it had lots of pictures, and the books that I read usually don't have pictures. It was relaxing that I didn't really have to use my imagination alot. Overall I liked the book.

this book was about about a boy who tried to find a message from his father by an atomatan. it was a good book and i reccommend you to read this book but the only thing is that more than half of the book is pictures
