Órfão, guardião dos relógios e ladrão, Hugo vive por entre as paredes de uma movimentada estação de comboios parisiense, onde a sua sobrevivência depende de segredos e do anonimato. Mas quando, repentinamente, o seu mundo se encaixa - tal como as rodas dentadas dos relógios que vigia - com o de uma excêntrica rapariga amante de livros e o de um velho amargo, dono de uma lojinha de brinquedos, a vida secreta de Hugo e o seu segredo mais precioso são colocados em risco. Um desenho misterioso, um bloco que vale ouro, uma chave roubada, um homem mecânico e uma mensagem escondida do falecido pai de Hugo formam a espinha dorsal deste intrincado, terno e arrebatador mistério.

5.0 Illuminating and Luminous book about Georges Méliès!
So, I'd seen Hugo when it first came out in the theaters, thought I should give this book a try, and promptly forgot about it until I saw it on the shelf of the library. I'm so glad I picked it up, though, because it was absolutely brilliant! It's a combination of text and illustrations and photo...

5.0 The Invention of Hugo Cabret
by Brian Selznick The only thing I don't like about Brian Selznick's books is how long it takes him to write them. But they're definitely worth the wait. Ama sent me this book my sophomore year in college. I read it the evening I received it in between Japanese worksheets and Project Runway. It'...
