Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children

Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children

By Ransom Riggs

This book is the perfect pick for anyone who likes slightly-spooky mysteries with amazing endings. I completely and totally loved this book. After receiving it from a Dogo freebie last year, I've read it at least 5 times because it was so amazing. Jacob follows his grandfather's mysterious last words to go to a loop, with a bird, September 3rd, 1940. He soon finds himself on the small island of Cairnholm, in which he tracks down the big children's home his grandfather had sought refuge in during World War II. Jacob finds the place wrecked and crumbling, until he finds a trunk filled to the brim with the fantastically eery photographs his grandfather had shown him of his children's home friends, who all had a peculiar ability. Jacob had always thought they were fairy tales... until he stumbles through a cairn bog and finds himself in September 3rd, 1940. All the kids from the photographs are there. And they all have peculiar abilities, like levitation, super strength, futuristic dreams... Is Jacob one of them? Jacob goes through a spectacular journey to figure out what happened to his grandfather, who these children are and why they are still alive, and ultimately, how to find himself. In this amazing book, you will meet unforgettable characters and stories that will make you race to find the sequel. This is one of my favorite books, and I'm sure you will enjoy it too. Because of the occasional spookiness and language, I recommend this book for ages 12 and up.

Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)

Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)

By Ransom Riggs

Warning: Spoilers Ahead So, I thought this book was good. It had amazing character development, fascinating backstories, and I loved how the pictures fit so well in the book. I loved Emma's character, and how realistically she felt about Jacob, and how the settings in this book were so detailed and different than the other. I liked how Jacob actually thought about his family instead of having them completely thrown out the story. I'm especially intrigued by Millard, and his love for knowledge (particularly about Peculiars) and I thought the the entire history of Peculiars and how the Wights were looking for Peculairs' souls was very original. The humor in this book is perfect, and I love the interactions between all of them. I love how Bronwyn is sort of like a mother/big sister towards Claire and Olive. The cliffhanger at the end was perfect, and I don't think I would a change a thing about this book. AWESOME BOOK 10/10

When she inadvertently wishes for a fire, she discovers the coin's secret: it grants wishes! But you have to wish two times your wish, otherwise, it will only grant half of it. Soon, they use the magical charm to go on adventures, including meeting Sir Lancelot and going to a desert! What will happen next? How will the coin change their lives? This book was great, and I liked how the author told the story. Also, it was super funny! I recommend this book to people who like hilarious books with a bit of fantasy.

Squirm

By Carl Hiaasen

“This Summer, Billy dickens will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour’s cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.” As soon as I saw these words I knew this was the book for me. And I was right! I love Carl Hiaasen’s books, he is such a creative writer and I loved Billy, his sister Belinda, and his mom who was this weird obsession was eagles, and his dad who has this super dangerous catching poachers job and Little Thunder-sky, “Lil” for short, and lastly, my favourite, Summer. She’s Lil’s daughter and also Billy’s father’s daughter. You should definetely read this book!

The best book I have ever read since A Hole New World. Again, Pat and Jen make such a great adventure book. It combines action and adventure into one big graphic novel.

Warriors Super Edition: Tigerheart's Shadow

Warriors Super Edition: Tigerheart's Shadow

By Erin Hunter

Tigerstar experiences a near-death experience in this exciting and eventful book; numbered 10th in the super editions. It details Tigeheart's escape from ShadowClan with Dovewing, and how they go to a giant big strange city, otherwise known as a Twolegplace, and how Dovewing raises her kits with a group of cats, known as the Guardians. Very nice name. These cats are very strange to Tigerheart, and he debates about whether or not to raise his kits there. And lots shall happen, and problems will be resolved, and a mysterious cat named Spire warns of DANGER. TIGERHEART" S SHADOW was very intriguing. The plot was chock full of events, and the journey to the Twolegplace was interesting. But a bit too boring. SO, it was okay but not that good, and some other Super Editions are probably better. But this is a great book for people who just want something interesting to read and who like longer books.
