"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick

The time is 1931, the place, Paris. The story revolves around Hugo Cabret, an orphan who lives with his uncle in the walls of a busy train station. Hugo wants to remain hidden so that he can finish the secret invention that so consumed his father's attention. In order to do this, he must continue the work of his uncle, who's gone missing -- winding all the clocks in the station. But when Hugo is caught and becomes involved with a cranky old man and a young girl, the story evolves into so much more.
