The invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

My daughter Camille and I devoured the "Invention of Hugo Cabret" by B Selznick over the week end, and both of us in turn COULD NOT put in down! This is what my almost 10 years old has to say about it: "This book is full of mysteries.I especially liked the fact that Hugo could walk in the walls.I wish I could do that! I also think this book is special because some parts of the story are told solely by black and white hand-drawn pictures, which means that if the pictures were not there you wouldn't understand the story. It's a bit like having a silent movie inserted in the book."
