![]() Young Hugo Cabret manages the clocks in a Paris railway station without any adult supervision. He scampers through the walls and nabs what he needs to survive from vendors at the station. This story is a mysterious adventure involving a real-world filmmaker, a robot that draws, and a young boy looking for family. Many of you may have read this book or seen the movie already, but I have not really been interested in Hugo Cabret until I heard Gene Luen Yang referenced this book as an inspiration for him to write graphic novels at a talk he did at the library. I love how the illustrations in Hugo Cabret are part of the plot: the don't just illustrate what the words say, but rather they hold their own as story elements.
