ORPHAN, CLOCK KEEPER, AND THIEF.
Twelve-year-old Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train
station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity.
But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric girl
and her grandfather, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious
secret, are put in jeopardy.
A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical
man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the
backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.
