It is about a by named Hugo, who works with the station clocks. He lived with his father and his father was a clock maker. He found an automaton at an old museum, and he started working on it, because it needed parts. One night, the guard forgot that Hugo's father was still in the building, and locked it, trapping him inside. A fire started, and burned him up. Hugo didn't know until his uncle Claude came and took custody. He taught Hugo how to work with the station clocks. He collected clock pieces from the toys that he stole and broke open from the toy booth across the street. I have already read this book, but I don't want to give any more away to you. This book has JUST come out as a movie. I recently watched it, and it is AMAZING!
I recommend this book to everyone who has some patience with pictures.
