The Adventures of Hugo Cabret




Have you guys read this book?
It's called The Invention of Hugo Cabret
by Brian Selznick.
This book is mostly pictures....it tells a story that you have to figure out.
It's an amazing book.
If you are interested in reading it,
I KNOW the public library has it.
Check out this cool link to see more about the book:
If you read it, let me know what you thought about it!

It's probably totally different than most people have read before.

flip-flop mom,
I LOVED 19 minutes.
I thought it was the most amazing book!!
As a teacher, it changed the way I deal with bullying behavior. I have the kids think about what it must be like for the kid they are picking on to come to school each and every day. POWERFUL!!!

I am certain the Farmington library has that book. If they don't, however, you can reserve it, and they will call you when it arrives.

Hi Ms. Simonson I just got to the blog page today. I would say I like reading Nancy Drew books more since the break from the Nancy Drew books. I'm on pg 60 in Nancy Drew The Stolen Relic
