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.

Its was OK it was not the best book i have ever read and there are too many pictures.
i read this book when i was younger and i really enjoyed it!! if you are looking for a book that you can just sit by the fire and relax this is your book.
I just LOVE reading unique and interesting books! This is one of my favs! Brian has written another book like this called Thunderstruck which is just as good, maybe even better! <3
i agree tessa_rain i mean most people ignore this book just because its too big but most of it is filled with illustrations!! the story is great too!! trust me its worth reading!! <3

Brian Selznick is one of my favorite authors/illustrators! He is amazing! I love the book and its drawings. You may think "Oh, that's way to big, I am NEVER going to read that" then you are wrong because most of the book is filled with beautiful pictures that explain part of the story visually- I love it!
I am not surprised that it won the caldecott award. It was amazing illistrations! It was worded beautifly. It was detailed and creative. I think that if you read this reveiw you should read this book. one of my favorite books.
