Follow Your Imagination!

What a wonderful book! The illustrations are fantastic - very visually exciting, and add to much texture to the story. A terrific mystery and adventure story, and the well written narrative is woven so magically with the graphics. My 8-year old daughter and I loved reading it together!

Amazing Book!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. The images grab you immediately and suck you right into the book. I'm a 4th grade teacher, and my students love that they can read a 400+ page book in less then a week. We also have enjoyed the research links in the back. Two Thumbs Up for an amazing book!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

This is one of my all time favorite books! It is a story about a boy named Hugo Cabret who is an orphan living in a train station in paris. This book is a mystery about Hugo trying to figure out the message of a mysterious automaton. Could a girl his age and an old man who owns a toy shop be the answer to his problems? This book is at least ½ pictures! It is a great book that I look forward to talking about with my sister. I highly recommend this book for people who are 3rd grade to adult. It is a book that holds many surprises that it would put me to shame to reveal.

This book is craftily written and doesn't reveal things until needed. It keeps you hooked. I finished it in 3 hours flat. It's very fresh and "new" feeling. You have never read a book like this before. Every time you read this book you see or find something new and exciting that makes you keen to re-read it again and again. I hope you decide to read this enchanting book.

If you love movies . . .

The intertwining of the intrigueing plot, fabulous gaphics and completely original format is brilliant. This book is a piece of art. It is beautifully bound, with high-quality paper. The binding makes the book fall open flat, so that none of the graphics are lost in the center. The concept of making the book resemble a movie and then being about one of film's pioneers is fascinating.

As a teacher, I am thrilled to see such high-quality children's literature being published. A book like this helps kids love reading and books, we need so much more of that so they put away their electronic toys and READ.
