Hugo Cabret é um menino órfão que vive escondido na central de trem de Paris dos anos 1930. Esgueirando-se por passagens secretas, Hugo cuida dos gigantescos relógios do lugar - escuta seus compassos, observa os enormes ponteiros e responsabiliza-se pelo funcionamento das máquinas. A sobrevivência de Hugo depende do anonimato - ele tenta se manter invisível porque guarda um incrível segredo, que é posto em risco quando o severo dono da loja de brinquedos da estação e sua afilhada cruzam o caminho do garoto. Um desenho enigmático, um caderno valioso, uma chave roubada e um homem mecânico estão no centro desta história, que, narrada por texto e imagens, procura misturar elementos dos quadrinhos e do cinema.

Nearly a century later, runaway Joseph Jervis seeks refuge with an uncle in London. Albert Nightingale's strange, beautiful house, with its mysterious portraits and ghostly presences, captivates Joseph and leads him on a search for clues about the house, his family, and the past. A gripping adventure and an intriguing mystery The Marvels is a loving tribute to the power of story.

From award-winning author Elissa Brent Weissman comes a collection of quirky, smart, and vulnerable childhood works by some of today’s foremost children’s authors and illustrators—revealing young talent, the storytellers they would one day become, and the creativity they inspire today. Everyone’s story begins somewhere… For Linda Sue Park, it was a trip to the ocean, a brand-new typewriter, and a little creative license. For Jarrett J. Krosoczka, it was a third grade writing assignment that ignited a creative fire in a kid who liked to draw. For Kwame Alexander, it was a loving poem composed for Mother’s Day—and perfected through draft after discarded draft. For others, it was a teacher, a parent, a beloved book, a word of encouragement. It was trying, and failing, and trying again. It was a love of words, and pictures, and stories. Your story is beginning, too. Where will it go?
