In the beginning of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the reader follows a boy through a grate in the wall, down a hallway, to an old man in a toy booth who sees a clock, and behind the number 5 in the clock, there's the boy. Selznick's illustrations work like a camera, zooming in on details and following his characters around as they move through the world. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order.
