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 read this book in the 3rd grade and was disappointed by the amount of pictures. I was expecting a large book with occasional pictures, but instead I got a book with around 100 pages of pictures in the very beginning. I think that the ideas behind the story are very good and imaginative, but some of that gets lost in the pictures. I would recommend this book if you can understand pictures and appreciate art.

I read this a LONG time ago, so I don't remember much. It was a long read, It has a LOT of pictures, I just remember that it was a really good book.

I like this book because it is really cool if you get your mind wrapped around it. i did and they her key his dad or uncle gave to her unlocked the robot drawer that drew the picture that handed to the dad.
