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.

I loved this book. Once you read the first word, you can't stop. This book is about a boy who's uncle died after teaching him about how to run the clocks in a train station. He makes a friend and discovers an invention made by his father before he died in a fire. This amazing story help you realize how lucky you are and teaches you how inspired you can be with one book. I greatly recommend this book for anyone who needs a book to read or a loss to feel better about. Join Hugo Cabret and his amazing journey of hope, loss, misery, and wonder.

When Hugo's father dies, Hugo would rebuild the invention of his father's and figure out the message Hugo's father left for him. The old man that works the toy booth seems suspicious to Hugo. That girl Isabelle relies strange also. When the message writes George Melies, that would be the name of Isabelle's grandfather. So an adventure begins with Hugo, Isabelle and the mysterious name of George Melies.
