Hugo Cabret is about a boy who lives under the roofs of Paris.
Hugo is poor so he has to steal from the toy shop but the owner dosn't like it when he steals so Hugo has to repay him, how is going to repay him ? Hugo has a lot of pressure on his sholders because Hugo has to look after the clocks without the Train Station Guard knowing. One day Hugo asked his father if he could see the __Automata__, so his father showed him and Hugo was amazed .Hugo thought the Automata was so itricate and so complicated and he got dizzy even looking at it. Hugo's father worked all day and night on the Automata but never finished it, so it was up to Hugo to fix it.

I defintley enjoyed this book and I hope you do.

I like your use of the rhetorical question, Sean, It's a technique that a lot of reviews use to gain our interest. Mrs B

This book can be sutibale for 10 and up (depnding on what type of book you read) __The Inventions Of Hugo Cabret__ is a book about a boy named Hugo. Hugo lives a normal life untill his father finds a rusty, old __Automan__ in a dark corner of the musem. His father works and works on the Automan untill his life is tradgicly lost in a fire. Hugois then taken in by his uncle, Hugo lerns the way of the clock kepper. But then the Uncle does not come back, he finds an old man with a toy booth.and hugo is forced in to stealing for food.... untill he finds the Automan again. the old man, his god child and the Automan share a conection. will Hugo find the conecttion? get stuck in a good book,

If you liked hugo cabret, you must try "wonderstruck" the 2nd book, its about a boy named ben, and rosie. Emma

Great review, Emma! Thanks for mentioning //Wonderstruck// ..... others might be interested in reading this one too. Mrs B

The invention of hugo cabret is for about ages 9-13, it isnt actully very hard to read because it has alought of pictures and the pages that do have words on them are large and easy to read. I finished it in about a week of easy reading. Anyway the actual book is about a boy(Hugo Cabret)who lives in the walls of a train station in Paris. He makes sure all the clocks are on time, he is looked after his unkle untill he misteriosly disappears. Hugo then finds the automaton and tries to fix it with stolen parts from George Meiles toy shop. I wont really give away to much more but in the end he fixes th automaton.
