A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

WARNING SPOILERS! Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be peculiar? Well Jacob Portman the protagonist has been peculiar his whole life without ever knowing! Ransom Riggs tells a beautiful story about people who can transform into birds, and people with other unique talents. Jacob and his father go to Wales on a vacation and while they are there Jacob finds a mysterious place his grandfather had talked about before he was killed by a hollowgast. Jacob finds the house but it is destroyed he turns around and he sees a few of the children. They lead him into the loop that they use which makes every day September 3, 1940. Jacob meets all the children and has dinner with them. Then the next day Miss Peregrine is kidnapped by a wight (a evolved form of a hollowgast) named Dr. Golan. Miss Peregrine almost dies from being attacked by the wight who kidnapped her. Thankfully the kids saved her from the wight but… she can’t turn back into a human. I would recommend this to people who want a thrill-seeking adventure.

I had been wanting to read this for a long time when I found it. We were at my grandma's house for Independance day and we were staying the night that night. I was looking around the room I was staying in to see if there was anything to read and on top of a stack of books there it was! I was so excited that I went downstairs immediately and showed my mom and grandma. It turned out that my grandma didn't even know she had it. My mom told me she wanted to read it when I was done so I ran upstairs and read the whole book in like 2 hours. I read the book so fast my mom laughed at me and said, "Did you enjoy it?" I said "Yes! It is really amazing you definitely need to read it!"
