Hugo Cabret was forced to live with his uncle a timekeeper after his father suddenly dies. Hugo's father leaves behind an automaton which connects him to a famous long forgotten filmmaker. Together they repair the automaton and the famous filmmaker Georges Mêlées adopts Hugo.
Selznick's style of presenting text and illustrations to convey the story allows the reader to understand the life of Hugo Cabret. The illustrations help to explain the things Hugo must go through to survive on his own in the train station. This novel is great for young readers who are beginning to read chapter books because the pages are not filled with text. The combination of text and illustrations will help captivate young readers attention. This book received the Caldecott Medal and here is the link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYiumrSxAg8
