  <default-description>Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Caldecott Medal 2008   <br/>     The links here, especially those from Brian Selznick’s own website, have added much value to re-reading this book.

    <body><![CDATA[     What is a picture book?  Prior to reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret, my answer to that question would be a beautifully illustrated and hopefully well-written short story with bright, bold colors and captivating language.   Brian Selznick redefines this genre of children’s literacy with his...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43443769">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed both the illustrations and the tale that unfolded within the covers of this book.  It is inventive and curious.  It is the kind of book that if you let yourself be swept away by it, you will enjoy the ride.  I just hope the author/illustrator comes out with another book soon.   <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33199540">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A wonderful book full of amazing drawings and beautiful black pages.  I had to have it because of the artistry of the book.  I was thrilled to discover that I enjoyed the story too.  The story is about an orphan, who learns about films, automatons and magic.
