Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: the graphic novel

story by Ransom Riggs, art by Cassandra Bean
PRMS hardcover unpaged
genre: YA fantasy

I'm still somewhat torn about buying graphic novels of really good books, but in this case I'm glad I did! The story renders well in visual form, mixing Bean's artwork with the eerie photos from the original novel. Jacob is a relatable (though somewhat dark) teenager grappling with his grandfather's stories, reality, and mental health.

One of my readers loved this book a lot! She's going to try tackling the novel now. I love it when kids are engaged in what they're reading!
