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 then his world suddenly interlocks—like the gears of the clocks he keeps—thanks to an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy in the train station, Hugo's undercover life and his most precious secret are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing in a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spell- binding mystery.

With 284 pages of original drawings, and combining elements of a picture book, graphic novel, and film, Brian Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience. Here is a stunning, cinematic tour de force from a boldly innovative storyteller, artist. and bookmaker.

Brian Selznick is the illustrator of many celebrated picture books and novels, among them the Caldecott Honor Book The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins and the New York Times Best Illustrated Walt Whitman: Words for America, both written by Barbara Kerley, as well s the Silbert Honor winner When Marian Sang by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Selznick has worked as bookseller, a set designer, and a puppeteer. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and San Diego, California.
