What an interesting book! It's received a lot of attention, mostly because people have never seen anything like it!
We've been talking about genres in 7READ, and I don't think any of the genres we've discussed fit this book. It's not a picture book, or a graphic novel. It's not a normal novel either. It's part silent movie and part flip book and part novel. No matter what you call it, you are sure to call it a super book!
Here are a few things to get you more interested and curious about the book! I would love to have a mini-book club with this book. Let me know if you are interested. We'll set a date, order some treats, and invite Hugo to join us!
Check these sites out:
About Hugo Cabret (on this site, you can see the 22 page illustrated drawing of the opening scene of the book...so cool!)
A video interview with the author (Brian Selznick)
Get on board with this book!
You won't be disappointed.
Keep Reading!

I'd love to read this book and have a book club. It seems very interesting, and I'd love to discuss it with others.

That would be great, Alexa. Let's see who else is interested!
Maybe a date in about a month. I know it's a long way off, but we need to give time people to get their hands on a copy (there's only two in the media center).
I'll ask Ms. Lange if we can get a few copies!
So exciting!
