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 is a great book who ever doesn't think they finish it there's mostly pictures. and how come there's mostly girls who wrote.
When orphan Hugo Cabret has to live alone in a Train Station because his uncle went missing and his father died in a terrible fire Hugo does have one desire.... Clockworks. Hugo's father was always telling Hugo about clocks and all of that stuff. Now with all his knowledge on clocks he runs ALL the clocks in the station. He tries to stay hidden so that the station inspector will not find out that Hugo livesbalone and that he is the one running the clocks. One day he wonders off to his stealing trips to the toy stand but Hugo gets caught by the old man who runs it. When Hugo gets to be friends with a girl named Isabella he figures out that she is the Old man's god daughter! I LOVE this book because it is mystery and adventure! If you like Mystery and Adventure you should definitely read "The invention of Hugo Cabret" If you like this book definitely read "Wonderstruck"!
So good it might be big but it's mostly pictures. A great book when you read it you can't stop reading the book.

I love Hugo Cabret it is a awesome book and I love the mystery of the heart key. Greatest book I have ever read!
this is a incredible book it has a lot of mysteries and even though is has a lot of pictures in it it is still really good story, you should read it. Hugo Cabret lives in clocks and he does some amazing things in the clocks, you should red it.
I just finished reading this book and love it! I could not put it down so it only took me a few days to read. This book is like a picture book with some chapter book but a better story! I would read THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET if I were you!
i loved this book it had so many cool mysteries that were all answered at random parts of the book wich made it lik 10 times better
