Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hey there!
Dh saw this lovely book
http://www.amazon.com/Invention-Hugo-Cabret-Brian-Selznick/d p/0439813786/ref=sr_1_1/002-0739419-7156850?ie=UTF8&s=books& qid=1175110577&sr=1-1

Have any of you read it? Our only hesitation is that the author is, ummmm.... "gay". Dh hasn't come across any catholic/christian comments about the book and just wanted to make sure there is no hidden (or not so hidden) agenda.

Thanks,
Alison

Sorry I can't be of any help here, Alison. I've not seen the book. My best advice is usually to preview a book before my kids read it ....

Here's a review that concludes the book is more about the illustrations and method of story-telling than good literature:
