Books: Favorites: The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Come, Friends. Come hear about one of the wonderful books of the world.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick, is an amazing book.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret is about a boy who lives in a train station in Paris, in 1931. He runs the clocks in the train station, and has a journal full of interesting drawings. As we follow Hugo, we meet Isabelle, a girl who loves to read, and an old man who runs a toy booth. There is a slight hint of mystery to the book, but it is not an absolute mystery novel. The book is told through words and pictures; if you skip the pictures you miss part of the story.

What I love about the book is that it is told in words and pictures. I haven't read any other book told in both words and pictures. I have read books only in pictures, and of course, only in words, but never in both. The story was also amazing.

 I love this book. Have you, Friends, read it? Do you like it? What do you like about it?
