The artwork is fantastic and replaces what could normally be a lot of descriptive text. The story in the book is slightly different from the movie, mainly in that A:- The character of Hugo is not quite as likeable in the book, and B:- The station master plays a very small role in the book. To me though this book isnt about Hugo it is about the genius that was Georges Melies. I claim to be a bit of a film nut but must admit I had never heard of him before Hugo. Since the movie and book I have developed a slight obsession with the life and works of this wonderful man and find Hugo to be a wonderful homage to him. Review: Beautiful book for children and adults alike - This was brought to my attention at my book club which is held in our local library, this was the book that had been chosen for the childrens book club that afternoon. I was instantly drawn to the cover of the book but once i opened it i was totally amazed by the contents, it is full of beautiful and detailed artwork completed in what looks to be drawn entirely in pencil. This book is a feast for the eyes, i came home from the library and ordered one straight away so that i could own my own copy and i am absolutely delighted with it, it has pride of place on my bookshelf along with my other favourites. It was very good value, arrived well packaged and promptly ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 15,477 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 9 in Robots Fiction for Children 10 in Screenplays 26 in Children's Historical Fiction Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,926) | | Dimensions | 15.3 x 5.2 x 21.5 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1407103482 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1407103488 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 534 pages | | Publication date | 1 Oct. 2007 | | Publisher | Scholastic | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![The Invention of Hugo Cabret - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D8I-BBTGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful story and artwork *by M***S on 13 July 2012* I bought this book straight after watching the Martin Scorcese movie.

I was instantly drawn to the cover of the book but once i opened it i was totally amazed by the contents, it is full of beautiful and detailed artwork completed in what looks to be drawn entirely in pencil.

It was very good value, arrived well packaged and promptly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Immersive Reading *by A***R on 19 January 2014* I decided to read this book because I was intrigued about a description I read online. It said that the book was part story/part black and white movie. Interested, I ordered the book online. When it was delivered I thought there was some sort of mistake as the package was REALLY heavy. Carefully I opened the box. “Surely this isn’t the book I ordered?” I mused to myself. I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I took the book out of its packaging and began riffling through the pages. It was over 500 pages long!! Undeterred I scanned the blurb. Instantly my interest was grabbed. Hungrily, like a strange book monster I started to read the first chapter…or should I say “watch”? The first chapter is made up of a collection of amazing black and white illustrations. Flicking from one to the next was just like watching an old black and white movie. Before I knew it, fifty pages of the book had gone by. I read the book in just a few short hours. It certainly is an exciting adventure through 1930’s Paris. There are interesting and extravagant characters, lots of action and suspense…not to mention nerve-shredding cliff hangers. I recommend this story to any boy or girl, who loves books, loves movies, loves chasing or being chased. 9 out of 10. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51426922-the-invention-of-hugo-cabret](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51426922-the-invention-of-hugo-cabret) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
