The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Brian Selznick writes amazing historical fiction that also feels like magic. This book is a really fun experience. The illustrations are beautiful and are able to tell a story with no dialog that make it feel cinematic. Reading this book you will learn about an early film maker named Georges Méliès who made a film called A Trip to the Moon in 1902! At the end of the book there is a references page so you can continue to learn about the person and events that inspired the book! ~Ashley



If you like illustrated historical fiction I would recommend Matt Phelan to read next!
