This is an AMAZING book that I just finished for the second time...
Working to make sure the clocks run smoothly, Hugo sneaks about the train station by day. By night, he works on his beloved automaton. All has gone smoothly-- if that's what you call being in constant fear of the Station Inspecter lest he send you to an orphanage-- for a couple months, until the man at the toy booth catches him stealing parts for the automaton, and takes his father's precious notebook. Now Hugo is trapped in a mystery that envolves the man at the toy booth, a girl who loves to read, and Hugo's automaton, which seems to hold a secret.
Doesn't it sound wonderful? This is another book you HAVE to read. And there is also a movie, called Hugo, which sticks pretty close to the book, but has some added things in it.
