The Invention of Hugo Cabret by famed illustrator Brian Selznick is creating plenty of news in the world of children’s books! This 526-page long book is neither a picture book nor a graphic novel, neither a movie nor a flip but all this and more, says the official website.

It tells the story of 12 year old Hugo who lives in a Paris train station. Orphan, clock keeper and thief, his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. Sounds exciting, I must say. Check the site theinventionofhugocabret.com for more details. I can’t wait to get my hands on it…

Suitable for ages 8 – 12
