Book Pick: The Invention of Hugo Cabret (with video!)

Orphan, clock keeper and thief, 12-year-old Hugo Cabret lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station. His survival depends on secrets and anonymity, but his world turns upside down when the owner of a small toy shop and his daughter discovers Hugo’s undercover life… and his most precious secret.

Brian Selznick’s 2008 Caldecott Medal winner is a fantastic and suspenseful combination of words and graphics — it’s like reading a silent movie and you’re on the edge of your seat.
