PZ 7 .S465 INV 2007
"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" is a wonderful story centered around an orphaned boy named Hugo and an automatron with which he is totally captivated. When his uncle goes missing, he takes over his uncle's job of winding the clocks in a Paris train station, tries to stay hidden from the station inspector, keeps a secret notebook, and steals food to survive. His world changes when he loses the notebook to an old toymaker he has also been stealing toys from. The story is for young adults partially told through the pictures the author has drawn. But you will have to read it for yourself to find out how Hugo Cabret becomes invented.
