You have no idea what the book is about from the cover. It's a page-turner because Hugo finds the key to the auto-man. It is exciting to see what he does to stay alive. Everyday he shows bravery and gentleness and at the same time he is a thief!Thanks to SJV student Thomas, grade 5, for this post.
Readers can add to their knowledge of the illustrations and what went into making of this book at the web site by Brian Selznick, the author, who was awarded the Caldecott Medal for this book last year. Even though The Invention of Hugo Cabret has over 500 pages, it won't take you long to read it because almost 300 of its pages are just illustrations!
