Hugo, an orphan living hidden in a Paris station, tries to repair an automaton found by his father: a figure seated at a desk. When he sets it in motion, the machine draws an image that leaves him frozen, linked to the station's surly toy seller. With Isabelle, the old man's goddaughter, Hugo discovers a surprising secret.
Catalan translation by Josep Sampere i Martí. The original work, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, was awarded the Caldecott Medal.
Recommended for young readers, especially those who enjoy illustrated mystery novels.
