The invention of Hugo Cabret Book review

This book is called The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Inside the book you have to use your imagination as there are 284 pages of original drawings. The book is 530 pages long. The story line is about a boy called Hugo Cabret who lives in an extremely busy train station in Paris. As his father had been killed and his mother died at his birth, his uncle has to take him in as he is Hugo’s only living relative. Hugo’s uncle’s job was to fix the clocks in the train station and Hugo helps his uncle to look after the clock. His uncle keeps leaving Hugo in the train station, but one time he doesn’t come back. There for, Hugo is an orphan with no food or money so he needs to steal to stay alive. Hugo has a secret, a very important secret that no one else knows about. But when he meets a bookish girl and a grumpy old man who runs a toy booth, his secret is revealed and finds there are other strange mysteries that no one knows about, he needs help to find out the strange mysteries. But where will he go? I read this book in one night because it was so great. The things I liked about it are the story line and all the illustrations. I would recommend it for people 9+ for boys and girls. I would rate it 9/10.
