I loved it! It was about a little boy who lives with his uncle and works as a time keeper. One day, his uncle dies, and the little boy is left alone to take care of the huge clocks, and he has no experience whatsoever how to take care of the clocks. Read the book to find out what happens to him!

When you pick up this book, its like 500 pounds. It actually is a really short book because more that 3/4 of it is only pictures. The author does a great job of describing the book with pictures and I felt like i was in the story too.

Hugo Cabret is one amazing book. This book is very adventurous and feels like it never ends! Pictures go with every spellbounding twist and turn that Hugo Cabret goes through in his life. It creates a tale that you will very forget and definately will be on your favorite book list. This book would probably be only for kids 10 and up because of the difficult words. But for the kids who do read it...enjoy!
