The Invention of Hugo Cabret
New York: Scholastic Press, 2007. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. Fine, fresh, like-new copy in equally fine, bright dust jacket. 533 pp with illustrations. Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks--like the gears of the clocks he keeps--with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the train station, Hugo's undercover life and his most precious secret are put in jeopardy. With 284 pages of original drawings, and combining elements of picture book, graphic novel, and film, Brian Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience. Fine / fine. Item #E35237
