One of my favorite books that I've read is The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.  This was an amazing book with very good writing that is not hard to understand and is pretty fast paced.  The author did a great job on making the book so visual and not only with writing but half of the book was in pictures and that made it very fun to read and see what he is imagining about the book and not just what the book looks like to yourself.  It was pretty cool to see this way of showing a story.
       This book main character of this book is Hugo.  Hugo lives alone secretly within a vent of a train station.  He is secretly doing his uncles job at the station which is making sure that the clocks are running correctly.  No one has figured out that his uncle had not been at the station and all of the clocks were run by Hugo.  Hugo has also found one of the things that his dad has been working on before he died in a fire and Hugo is trying to figure out what this robotic like person run by clocks does by putting trying to piece the whole thing together.  Over all I thought this book was great and was a very fun fast read and I'm reading more of the books written by Brian Selznick.
