The Invention of Hugo Cabret

By: Brian Selznick 44444



The Invention of Hugo Cabret is about a lonely boy Hugo who lives in the clock towers of London with his Father the clock keeper. Hugo is very adventurous and loves to build stuff. One day in the train station of London There’s a horrible fire and Hugo’s dad gets trapped in the station. His Uncle here’s about the fire and takes Hugo to live with him. Then one ordinary day Hugo’s uncle goes of to work but never comes back.
Now Hugo realizes without a Father or an Uncle he is now a foster child but he still has his Uncle’s house so, he is now living in his uncle’s apartment. Hugo went strolling along the train station block and saw a machine that Hugo thought he could repair. When Hugo started repairing this machine is when the book all began.
I would say this book took place in the late 1900’s. This book is definitely a mystery book for any mystery lovers. That’s me a mystery lover that’s one reason why I loved this book. Another reason was because it was different then all the other books I know it had a lot of amazing pictures but it was so well written and for me was an immediate page tuner. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is like me and loves mysteries/adventure books and isn’t a big fan of books that are super long and have small print.
