Hugo Cabret is a young boy whose life is wrapped in secrecy. On the average day you'll find him slipping through the clockworks of the Paris train station. With no parent or guardian, Hugo must turn to thieving in order to survive. That is, until he gets caught, and Hugo has his own prize possession stolen. Hugo's story is one of mystery and wonder; strife and determination. The text and drawings of Hugo Cabret twist together to form a black whole that will suck you in and not let you go 'till the tale is finished.
Hugo Cabret is a unique literary experience. It is an extraordinary book that would make a great addition to any classroom upper elementary or above. Exposing children to books like this will open their imagination, and show them that there are more ways than one to tell a story.
