Review by Shaylee
Who would like this book? Any ages would like this book.
The goods on the book: Hugo Cabret is a young boy just trying to make it, having to fix the clocks and make sure they are working, take care of himself, and try to fix his automaton. As he tries to steal parts for his secret machine, he is caught by Georges, a toy booth owner. When his notebook gets taken away, he works hard to get it back, but he finally realizes that the notebook wasn’t what he needed. After the automaton is fixed and working, it leads to a bigger discovery than Hugo could imagine. This book has amazing drawings and was pretty interesting from start to finish.
