«La invención de Hugo Cabret» is the graphic novel by Brian Selznick, published by Ediciones SM in hardback (534 pages, in Spanish).
Hugo, an orphaned clockmaker, lives hidden in a Paris station and must go unnoticed to survive. A careless moment brings him face to face with a curious girl and an old toy seller, and that encounter triggers a mystery that will change his life. Text and illustrations combine to tell the story, with images that sometimes say more than words.
Published in 2007, the book is part of SM's «Novelas gráficas» collection and contains 284 original illustrations by Brian Selznick.
A novel aimed at readers aged 12 to 15 who enjoy mystery, friendship, and stories where the image carries as much weight as the text.
