Wanting to find the perfect component to a day at Starbucks? Miss Peregrine's. Need an excuse to not set the table? Miss Peregrine's (no parent will ever tell you to stop reading). Trying to procrastinate a project? Miss Peregrine's. This is definitely one of those "can't put down" books that is great for summer or whenever reading. The pictures were collected by Ransom Riggs and other people who contributed to them so it makes it pretty legit, I think we can deal with that. Honestly I find the pictures in them to be fascinating.
Trust me, I got nightmares once from a CSI episode, I think I know how much of a weenie I am with scary things, and this book is not. It's a mystery, and you'll race to solve it before Jacob figures it out for himself.On to the actual book, it's not scary.
"You'll love it if you want a good thriller for the summer. Riggs' chilling, wondrous novel is already headed to the movies."- People "'Peculiar' doesn't even begin to cover it. "With its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it's no wonder Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story."-John Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars "A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. 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. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason.
As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. 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. 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. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
