The Invention of Hugo Cabret- Book Review

A Caldecott Medal Winner in America. Cleverly conceived and executed. A pleasure to read. Movie script meets graphic novel.A fine achievement from Brian Selznick with this blend of graphic novel, novel and flip book. It has a scripted movie-like feel, evocative of the wonderful era of silent film. The words and illustrations work well together to unfold an engaging tale. I really liked it as an adult. It's a little too 'old' for my younger children, but I believe that older readers in 9- 15 year old bracket will get a lot out of it.
