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.

I haven't personally read this book but when I was in primary my teacher read it to us. I loved it and I have been intending to read it myself but haven't got round to it. It has beautiful and detailed drawings and is a great book. I would recommend it to anyone! XD

This is like the BEST BOOK EVER. MUST READ... Beautiful pictures and detailed writing.

I haven't read this book, though a lot of people in my class recommend it. I will probably read it soon, though right now I'm waiting for a book called Now. I have reserved it in our school library.

Great Book! The pictures were great!

This book is wonderful to use the Reading Power Infer. It has the most amazing illustrations so that you can infer what is going to happen next because the author doesn't always tell you.
