The Invention of Hugo Cabret: My recommendation

I highly recommend the Invention of Hugo Cabret for children from 9 to 14 years old and adults. I very much appreciate. I also recommend the reader to read reluctant to quality, but usually not interested in reading. It would also be good to read aloud to some younger children.

I am afraid that, in a group of parameters that lost the feeling of stepping into a movie and after Hugo on his journey of adventure and discovery (Scholastic Press, 2007. ISBN: 9780439813785)
