This unique 550-page book includes 284 illustrated pages. Author Selznick describes it as “not exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things”.

So take a chance! Within the pages of The Invention of Hugo Cabret you’ll encounter Paris in the 1930’s, a thief, a broken machine, a strange girl, a mean old man, and the secrets that tie them all together.
