The Invention of Hugo Cabret

The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick
Illustrated by Brian Selznick
Published by Scholastic Press in 2007

This story is about a boy named Hugo.  Hugo is a twelve year old who gets his book stolen by an old toy booth worker.  That is special and he gets the book drawing skills from his father who passed.  He meets with a girl named Isabelle to get his book back.  A cherished artifact by him and his father is still unfinished.  Hugo steals toys and supplies to help fix the project.  Hugo finally gathers all of his materials and builds the automaton him and his father always dreamed of.  The automaton can produce more than 150 pictures.  I would recommend this book to people who love mystery and excitement.
