Booktalk:
There are clocks and keys and toys and an automation and lots a images that create a silent film type of feeling. The Invention of Hugo Cabret is fantastic and unique. Hugo's father, a watchmaker, has passed and had caused Hugo to become an orphan. As he stores himself away in a train station, his guardian, a worthless uncle, abandons him and leaves him alone to maintain the train clocks. He discovers new friends who are a film maker, a young girl, and a toy store owner and fills Hugo's lonely life up.
Is this a graphic novel, a movie film, a children's picture book? How about we say it's all of the above because this Caldecott winning book captures the essence of them all and creates a magical story that will embrace you until the very last page.
