An orphan with a key
ORPHAN, CLOCK KEEPER, AND THIEF, 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, bookish girl and a
bitter old
man who runs a toy booth in the station, 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.
