The Invention of Hugo Cabret

WATCH VIDEO REVIEW

Sometimes a book is more than just a book, like this masterful creation. The author says it is ''not exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things.'' Because neither words nor pictures alone can tell this story, reading it becomes an experience in itself.

I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled with a book, and I am not alone. Winner of the prestigious Caldecott Medal, the book has 284 pages of black and white illustrations, which add enormous depth to this exceptional tale.

And what a tale it is, full of twists and turns. The time is 1931, the place, Paris. The story revolves around Hugo Cabret, an orphan who lives with his uncle in the walls of a busy train station. Hugo wants to remain hidden so that he can finish the secret invention that so consumed his father's attention. In order to do this, he must continue the work of his uncle, who's gone missing -- winding all the clocks in the station. But when Hugo is caught and becomes involved with a cranky old man and a young girl, the story evolves into so much more.

Telling any more would spoil this intriguing, tender, story that will remain with you for a long time. This is quite a remarkable book and will be passed from friend to friend, child to parent, student to teacher. In fact, I am not sure I have ever come across a book that inspired such fascination from those I know who have read it!

Canadian Shipping:

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via Air Express only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (within one week), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $65.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.
