Synopsis (Goodreads):

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of 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 bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine’s 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.

Review:

This was such a fantastic creepy book!! The beginning was a bit slow starting out, but I enjoyed the story over all!

The author was able to develop a story around a bunch of weird, creepy photos, and I think he did a great job! He made the photos come to life, and gave a different perspective on what you might think the people in the photographs might be like.

Jacob is very close to his grandfather. He grew up listening to his stories, and when he dies, he goes on a quest to prove these stories true. What he finds is beyond his wildest imagination! I don’t want to say too much, as it would be easy to spoil a few things!This book was creative and exciting, and I definitely recommend!

Happy reading bookworms.
