by Brian SelznickSummary: An usual book--part novel, part art, part picture book. Hugo, an orphan, has made his home in a Paris train station. He steals from a grumpy toymaker who has a shop in the station in order to repair an "automatron" that was his father's pet project while he was alive.
My thoughts: I see the beauty in this book. It's unusual, and the illustrations are absolutely amazing--so good, in fact, that you almost don't need the words at all. The story didn't really hold my interest, but many students love this book, so what do I know? :)
