I just spent a most delightful hour reading this graphic novel by Brian Selznick.
I know I’m behind the times, that this has been raved about in the kidlitosphere for ages, but I finally picked it up at the library yesterday on a recommendation from a friend in my in-person book group. I’m so glad I did.
I didn’t read any of the reviews (just enough to know that it was loved by everyone), I had no idea what the book was about. And I appreciated that. So, I’m not going to tell you anything. Just that you should get your hands on a copy and spend some time getting to know the amazing Hugo Cabret.
You won’t regret it.

Yayy! Glad you loved this one as much as I did. It was the first (and probably last) review that I wrote for PopMatters. I couldn’t help but rave about it.

I’m glad you liked it, too! I’m planning on sending it to my 11 year old nephew for Christmas, but only if I can wait that long (and if I don’t decide to keep the copy for myself!)

You hit it on the head, Heather…. it was incredibly inventive and original. And M really enjoyed it too, Sarah, so it would make a great gift for an 11 yo.

I’m trying. I’ve got it on my wish list and someday a copy is going to walk through my door. 🙂

I’m reading this right now! And I’m just entranced. I want to stay up all night reading, but I have an insane workday tomorrow (meetings til 8pm) so I know I can’t!
