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. (goodreads).
