The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick tells the story of a young boy, Hugo, who after his uncle leaves him takes care of the clocks at the Paris subway station. However, this book is much more than that! I just loved this book!! The story is fantastic and the drawings in the book go with the story so well. Now I want to go see the movie! I now know why it was up for "Best Picture of the Year." It's an amazing story! If you saw the movie, tell me how you liked it! This is in the running for my book of the month.

I haven't read the book yet but saw the movie. I can see its merit from the point of view of the academy. I also read Brian Selznick's Wunderstruck which was fabulous! The illustrations are terrific, telling the story of one character while another story is told in writing and then the two merge into one story. Fabulous!
