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 interlocks 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.
