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 really like this book it's about a boy who likes clocks

i LOVED it its the best book i have ever read if you love adventure and fiction/realistic fiction this is definitely the best book you will ever read!!!!!!!!:)

This book is really good.I was introduced by my 3rd grade teacher and fell in love. I bought the book and read it over and over. I was obsessed.when i saw the trailer for the movie i flipped! i wanted to see it so bad.So i went to the store, saw it and bought it. It was a long movie so i didnt watch it right away but i watched it a few days later. It was good and L.O.N.G but i liked the book better. For the people reading this right know, If you like pictures and a nice long book to read, this is the book for you.If you like a long movie that is based off of a book hugo is a good movie for you to see. Thankyou! :)
