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 and it is very long it took me about one week to read and a lot of pictures but still good
the movie was probably NOTHING compared to the book. I haven't gotten a chance to get to read this book, but I bet its wonderful from watching the movie.
A wonderful book set in the heart of Paris. A great read for everyone and the movie is supposed to be good as well.

Half-written and half-drawn, The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is the perfect cross between medias taht children of all ages are sure to love. Hugo, a French theif, is an itruiging cahracter who follows along with the other mysterious people in the story. Totally four and a half sars!!!
luv the book even if it has a lot of pictures they r amazing and i watch the movie it is amazing too i have a crush on the actor that played Hugo his name is Asa Butterfiled
