Book Review
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Seznick
Have you ever read a book and watched the movie based on the book at the same time? In The Invention of Hugo Cabret, you'll find a combination of text, drawings and film all together in the same book. These elements tell the story of a twelve year-old orphan named Hugo, who lives in the walls of a Paris train station secretly taking care of the clocks housed there. Hugo is surrounded by many mysteries, including a missing Uncle, a broken mechanical man, a stolen key and a hidden message. In order to survive, Hugo,his friend Isabelle and a toy shop owner must piece these clues together to discover the secret that could change his life forever.
This story is cleverly written using visuals to help tell the story. Although it is a work of fiction, some of the book's characters are based on real people. The story moves along quickly and would be a great recommendation for a reluctant reader.
