Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

by Ransom Riggs

A weird, weird, weird tale of a young man and some awfully creepy vintage photographs.

When 16-year-old Jacobs loses his grandfather (Abe) to a horrible death, he needs answers. Abe’s cryptic final words to Jacob, as well as his strange and scary death leave Jacob in turmoil.

A trip to an island off of Wales and a visit to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children lead to even more questions for Jacob. Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children lead Jacob to a better understanding of his grandfather and himself.

Strange, strange, strange.
