The Invention of Hugo Cabret

When reading about "The Invention of Hugo Cabret", I was sad to see the boy that lived without a family.  I could not imagine living in a train station by myself, at any age, let alone his age!  I could feel how scared he was when he met the shop owners daughter.  Could you imagine being scared that your whole life is in jeoperdy?????  I also loved the drawings...this is not just a picture book , or a graphic novel, it is a combination of the two!  And I think that Brian Selznick is genius for thinking of it!   I would recommend this book to other peers!

Happy Reading!
