"The Invention of Hugo Capret" is by Brain Selznick is about a young boy named Hugo. Hugo lives in a train station and has spent every second he is not working on clocks, on the mysterious mechanical man.
Hugo has to work in a train station because when he was very young his Dad died in a tragic museum fire. His only other living relative was his Uncle. His Uncle lived in hidden rooms inside a train station because his job is to fix the clocks inside the train station. One day Hugo's uncle disappeared so Hugo has fix all the clocks in the station himself. Hugo is ok with this though because it gives him more time to work on the mechanical man.
This is all I can tell you with out giving away the rest of the book away but if you like a good mystery this is the book for you. If you choose to read this book don't be alarmed when you pull it of the shelf because it may look big but it has pictures so its not actually that bad. If you read this book there is all so a movie that you can watch after you read the book.
