The groundbreaking debut novel from bookmaking pioneer, Brian Selznick


Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks--like the gears of the clocks he keeps--with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life and his most precious secret are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.

With 284 pages of original drawings and combining elements of picture book, graphic novel, and film, Brian Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience. Here is a stunning cinematic tour de force from a boldly innovative storyteller and artist.

Among the Best
I have read all of John's books... and those coauthored with others. Between John an Brent, I have to say this one stands out to me as the best. At least to me in my present place in the journey Home. I honestly wish I could meet both of these men, not only to personally shake their hands and thank them for this contribution of their experiences with God... but to actually know them and spend time in fellowship with them. YouTube videos just don't cut it! Lol If not in this side of the Sacred Romance, then definitely on the other. If either of you dear gentlemen ever read this review... I thank you both from the depths of my heart.

Explains It Very Well
"The Sacred Romance" describes the way that our relationship with God is SUPPOSED to be, and then discusses the hardships that hinder the ideal relationship with Him. The authors use down-to-earth stories and compare them to God's love, allowing readers to gain a new perspective on God. I cannot say that I truly understand God's love completely, because there is no way that any human could fully comprehend it. However, after reading this book, I can say that I think I understand God's love a little more. This book is an excellent read, and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a closer relationship with God.
