The Invention of Hugo Cabret

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

I made this picture because I think this would fit to a book that I read called, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick. It’s about a boy that is trying to fix a machine that his father had discovered in an attic by an old museum. Eventually, the museum burned down and Hugo’s father died in the fire because he was in the museum at the time and the old guard had forgot that he was in there and locked the door. Hugo is raised by his uncle, but once his uncle didn’t come back and he decided he wanted to escape. Hugo was running outside and he found the machine that his father was trying to fix. Then, he took it to the train station, where he was living, and he tried to fix it. And the clock, I drew that because it fits to the book because it involves lots of clocks. The boy secretly fixes the clocks at the train station.

I like this book because it shows a lot about Paris and they speak a couple of French words like “croissant”. Then they have all these kind of mysterious stuff. The other thing that is interesting about the book is that there’s two parts and they’re each divided in 12 chapters like 24 hours. You never know what happens next in the story. It’s very mysterious. In every chapter more and more characters come. And I really had a pleasure reading it with my tutor Connie.
