The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Posted by: David Bunch
I just finished reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a work of children's literature but fun for grown ups too. It is over 500 pages long, but the story is told in words and pictures so many of the pages are of pictures only.
And really, that is what makes the story so cool. The art is really good and the author has used it to propel the story in a new and fresh way.
The story is of young Hugo Cabret who lives in a Paris train station in the 1930s. He meets a down on his luck, used to be movie producer and learns some valuable life lessons along the way.
A fun read.
