The Invention of Hugo Cabret

If you are a fan of graphic novels, picture books and early film, I recommend running to the library or the book store to pick up Brian Selznick's beautiful book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. With gorgeous illustrations interwoven with film and text, it slowly unfolds a charming, mysterious story of 12 year old orphan, clock keeper and thief, Hugo, who lives within the walls of a Paris train station.

I won't write much more about it as it's more of a delight to discover this masterpiece yourself in its unusual format. Happy reading!
