Hugo is nominated for multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Martin Scorsese, and Best Adapted Screenplay, John Logan.
Martin Scorsese won a Golden Globe for Best Director for Hugo, his adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a publishing phenomenon. The book looks intimidating, but its 533 pages are mostly beautiful black & white illustrations. The book evokes the feeling of a silent film, but in book form.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is also available in audio book. To make up for the lack of illustrations, the audio book tells the wordless parts of the story through orchestrated music and sound.
Selznick’s follow-up book, Wonderstuck, is similar in style, challenging young readers to perceive stories in different ways.
At this time, the Book Cellar has Wonderstruck and the audio book of Hugo, but we are out of stock of The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
