The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
Winner of the 2008 Caldecott Medal, this work is an unusual combination of pages featuring only text and long sequences of double-spread illustrations in black and white. A gripping tale of a young orphan hiding out in a Paris train station is played out in scenes reminiscent of an old silent movie.
