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 love Hugo. I haven't seen the movie, but the book is awesome!! :D I love the old timey-ness and all the clock parts. It looks long, but that's just all the drawings, which are great too!
I agree with you
This book, from an aspiring artist's standpoint, is absolutely wonderful. The drawings themselves tell the story of this young boy finding himself. The attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal, A standing ovation
They is a guy named Hugo cabaret an he likes to invent things and he lernd frm his dad and they found a mishen and he can right things but it was broken so Hugo's dad took it and went to work and his work got on fire and Hugo fixed it and it worked and he found out what it was it wasa a mans drawling
I love to read books by authors who I have met. Mr. Selznick was so funny and kind when I took some students to meet him in 2006.
