The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick2008 Caldecott
This fascinating “novel in words and pictures” is a mystery set in 1930’s Paris. Twelve year old Hugo is an orphan and repairs clocks for a living. After being caught steeling from a toy booth, he is forced to work at the toy shop from where he stole. His secret of living alone is unveiled and he is taken in by the toy stand owner and his granddaughter Isabelle.
I enjoyed reading this book because it takes you into a magical place. Also, this book is similar to a graphic novel which will attract young boys to read.
