__The Invention of Hugo Cabret__ by Brian Selznick
This book is one of my favorites. It is about a boy who lost his dad when he died in a fire. The boy's name is Hugo. Hugo is supposed to be living with his uncle, but his uncle died from falling in a river when he was drunk. Now Hugo is living on his own in the middle of the walls of the Paris train station. Hugo's uncle's job was to change the clocks, so when he died, Hugo took the job over. Nobody knows Hugo is alive and he also has no money, so he steals things. Hugo steals things like tools to make toys and food. Hugo steals toys because before his dad had died, he was working on a robot which Hugo wants to finish. The man who owns the toy shop is now mad at Hugo, so he chases him. There is a lot more to this story, so read the book to find out what happens.
