The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Thu 27th February 4.30 p.m. This event is free for our students age 9 to 12

Online

The Invention of Hugo Cabret: A Novel in Words and Pictures 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 interlock 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. This is a beautiful graphic novel within a novel - the soft pencil drawings bringing the story alive and the gold edged pages make this book a lovely object to read. In these sessions we talk about the book - there absolutely will be spoilers so don't come if you haven't read it. What did you think of the story, characters, writing? What were the big themes? Then we swap some recommendations for other stuff to read and get generally excited about books. These sessions are free, but do book on. Click "continue" below if the session isn't showing up.
