The Invention of Hugo Cabret
A boy named Hugo tried to steal a blue windup toy mouse from a toy booth but the old man caught him and took Hugo’s notebook and let Hugo go. As the old man was heading home Hugo was following the old man to his house. As the old man closed the door Hugo picked up a stone and tried to hit the old mans window but accidentally hit the wrong window. The curtains opened and there was a girl looking out the window. But Hugo recognized the girl from the toy booth. When he got back to his house in the walls of a train subway in New York , and sat down and uncovered a mechanical man His father used to work on the robot until he died in a fire. Hugo had always thought that if he fixed the robot , the robot would write a message from his father. The next morning , Hugo went back to the toy booth. The old man told Hugo if he wanted his notebook back Hugo would have to do daily jobs at the3 booth. While Hugo worked , Hugo stole nuts , screws and bolts so he could be able to fix the robot. One day while Hugo was working at the toy booth , Hugo saw the girl from the window the previous night. She told Hugo to meet her at the library after his work. When Hugo got to the library he saw the girl. While they were talking the door had opened and the girl seemed to know the person and then the girl introduced Etienne. Etienne said hi Isabelle then Hugo knew what the girls name was. It was Isabelle. When Hugo fixed the robot , he noticed on the back of the mechanical mans back there was a heart shaped key hole. Hugo waited until he saw Isabelle again so he can get the necklace from her so he can see what the mechanical is going to write. Once Hugo got the necklace without Isabelle knowing. While Hugo was slowly putting the necklace key into the keyhole. Suddenly Isabelle came running into his room and Hugo accidentally dropped the key and Isabelle jumped on Hugo and Hugo struggled to get out of her grip. Hugo told Isabelle all about the robot and how long he has been working on it and he can't wait to see the message. Isabelle let him out of his grip and tried turning the key but Hugo told her that there is no ink. So Hugo put some ink into the bottle and then she turned the key and the all of the gears were turning and the hand of the man dipped the pen into the ink and then started putting lines on the paper. Hugo thought that something had gone wrong and then he heard her gasp and ran over to see what she saw. It wasn’t a message. It was a drawing of a moon with a telescope as an eye. They thought that it was done but it dipped the pen back into the ink and the wrote Georges Melies. Then Isabelle said that is her godfather. Isabelle led Hugo to her apartment and let Hugo come in. While they were sitting down , the top of the armoire was open so the girl stood up on a chair and there was a chest and she grabbed the chest and when she had the chest the two front legs of the chair broke and the chest flew out of the arms of the girl and the chest shattered into little pieces and laying on the floor was little drawings. They were all drawn from Georges Melies. Both of them were surprised to see all of the drawings. Papa Georges came in and started whispering no no no no no. He took the projector and went into his room and locked it. Hugo , Isabelle , Etienne , and Monsieur Tabard were hearing a lot of ruckus in the room. Then Hugo told Isabelle to pick the lock and open the door and she did. When Isabelle opened the door they expected a huge mess but all there was was a bed pushed to the side and a desk George was sitting at but looking like a larger version of the mechanical man. Then Hugo went back to his home and unwrapped the mechanical man and carried it back to Isabelles apartment. He took the mechanical man back to the house and then dropped it off and left to the Film Academy library. When he got to the film academy the girl behind the desk said no no you are not coming in. You are too dirty and too small. And you have to be accompanied by an adult. Suddenly Etienne appeared and led Hugo to the film and book room. Hugo saw a picture of a type of god holding a fire ball and shooting light out of his finger. Hugo found the book he was looking for and then told Etienne thank you and left. Once he got to his house , he accidently bumped into the station inspector and got caught. When he woke up , Hugo saw the universe. Then Hugo noticed it was the jacket of Papa Georges. But when he sat up he was in the station inspectors room. Papa Georges told the station inspector that Hugo will live with him and Hugo didn’t have to go to the orphanage. Then the station inspector let them go.
I think this book was amazing. Definitely the best book I have ever read in my entire life. It had a lot of detail. I love the way it had pictures and words to give me a general idea and better picture what is going on in the story. The pictures helped me remember the book more than the words. The book was so good that when you try to put the book you will fall down with it but still be reading it.
