By Brian Selznick. A Novel in Words and Pictures.
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, Hugo's undercover life and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience, with 284 pages of original drawings, and combining elements of picture book, chapter book, graphic novel and film. This boldly innovative storyteller, artist, and bookmaker, has won many awards and this tale was a National Book Award finalist, #1 NY Times Bestseller and NY Times Best Illustrated Book of 2007.
