Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

by Ransom Riggs
PRMS hardcover 348 pages
genre: supernatural

What an unusual story! Jacob and his grandfather are close, but Jacob isn't quite sure what to believe about the stories he hears. When his grandfather is killed, no one believes Jacob's tale about the creature he saw. When Jacob and his father go to Cairnholm Island (the location of some of his grandfather's stories), strange things happen. Peculiar children, a time loop, hollowgasts, wights, . . . a very strange and captivating story! I love that the photographs in the book are actual vintage photos. Odd, scary, fascinating.
