The Invention of Hugo Cabret
called the automaton. Hugo thinks the automaton will leave him a message from his dad. Hugo keeps a little journal that contains steps to fix the automaton that his dad had already figured out. Hugo meets a girl who likes books and her grandpa who is a bitter old man. The bitter old man runs the toy shop where Hugo steals parts needed for the automaton. When the old man catches Hugo, his secret life of being alone and taking care of the clocks is in jeopardy. Hugo has
to work for the old man to repay him for all the stolen items. The only items Hugo has to reveal a secret message from his deceased father are a notebook with cryptic drawings, a stolen key and the automaton.
to go more in depth on his life and not the automaton.. If the book were called The Secret Life of Hugo Cabret, you probably would hear alot about the toy shop , Isabella (bookworm girl), and the bitter old man.
I think the title The Invention of Hugo Cabret fits the book because Hugo does build the automaton by the notes and drawings left from his dad. Hugo work so long and hard on this invention that sometimes he gets frustrated. If the title was The Secret Life of Hugo Cabret, that would change the story completely, because then they would have
I like the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick because it was a combination of pictures and writing. I know that picture books are for little kids but this was no ordinary picture book. This book has alot of writing and alot of drawings. The drawings show what he just wrote about but in a different way. The pictures present some other descriptions that the author left out. It allows you to have different ideas on what will happen next.. I was confused on what happened in different parts throughout the book because the pictures led me the wrong way.. Not many people would want to read this book because the title does not sound that interesting, however, once you start to read this book you will like it alot more.. This book is not just aimed at girls for readers it would be great for boys, too..
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a book about a boy named Hugo who is left to survive for himself. He grows up with his dad, but later the muesum, where his dad works, blows up and Hugo's dad dies. Hugo stays in the house he shared with his dad so that he doesn't get taken away. Hugo lives inside the Paris train station because he works on the clockworks for the train station. Before his dad died he was working on a little robot
