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 luv this i want it
i loved this book and Brian Selznick's way of story telling and adding depth with the pictures. AWESOME story!!!
I also loved how the drawings worked into the story
I loved this book because it showed how even the hardest of times will be over with at some point. I absolutely love how everything comes together in the end.
This book is awesome, and scary. The first thing about this how it is so sad that Hugo the orphans dad and uncle/timekeeper died in accidents. But, also life can hard as seen by how like 1/2 of the book here was the timekeeper and really lonely. I understand about being lonely, because once I was too(actually for like 3 years). But at least someone trusts him as a friend.
I really love this book.Plus It got my father to show me old movies
I LOVE this book so far
I'm still reading this book so no spoiler alerts! : )
Even though I read this book like 1000 times, I still like to read it over and over again.
