A mysterious island.

An abandoned orphanage.

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 were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted 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.

Facinating Concept, Great Story
by Lady Grey
11 months ago

This was such a fascinating book to read. I was immediatly drawn in by the spooky, odd pictures, and the dust jacket review. This is a great story about loss, life, and the things that really matter. I absolutely fell in love with the main character, Jacob. The story and characters were very well written. the mystery and intrigue were paced very well. I cant wait for more from Ransom Riggs.
