This book is about a boy named Hugo who is an orphan and turns the clocks at a train station. One day he is caught stealing and the man takes Hugo's notebook full of peculiar drawings. Little does Hugo know, this man is about to change his life forever.
This was an awesome book. We also looked at it in class as a graphic novel, but the content in the book is about a real man named Georges Méliés who was a film maker.
I would give this book a 5 out of 5 because the illustrations are breath taking and the writing is out of this world. Definitely one to use in the classroom.
