    rhythmic language choices to evoke an

    ILLUSTRATED
    NOVEL
    The Invention of Hugo Cabret is

    Selznick and published by
    Scholastic. It takes place in
    France as a young boy finds
    his purpose.
    The hardcover edition was
    released on January 30, 2007, and
    the paperback edition was
    released on June 2, 2008. With
    284 pictures between the book's
    533 pages, the book depends as
    much on its pictures as it does on
    the words.
    Selznick himself has described
    the book as "not exactly a
    novel, not quite a picture book,
    not really a graphic novel, or a
    flip book or a movie, but a
    combination of all these
    things".

    SKELETON CREEK
    by Patrick Carman

    novel and a series of movies on a
    website. The book is the story of
    two teenagers in their quest to
    discover why Skeleton Creek got
    its name.
    The gimmick being that every so
    often the book will direct the
    reader to the accompanying

    ramp up the scariness factor. An
    interesting idea.
