Jacob is a sixteen-year-old that is set on a journey when
a horrific family tragedy strikes. He
goes to a remote island off the coast of Wales and discovers a crumbling ruin
that was once Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. The more Jacob
explores the abandoned bedrooms and hallways the more he finds that Miss
Peregrine’s children were much more than just peculiar. They may have been quarantined on a deserted
island as they might have been dangerous and where there for a very good
reason. Even more impossible is the fact
that they might actually still be alive.
This is a story that takes photographs and remarkable
story telling to a level that makes for a book that will have readers eating it
up. While there is a bit of a
cliffhanger it still proves to be a story worth reading and will have readers
eagerly getting the next book just to see what will happen next. The book is very different and with the
photographs in it and it transports readers to another place. It will be interesting to see just where the
journey of the books will take readers. While it is a young adult book adults
will enjoy this one just as much as teens will.
This one will also end up on many keeper shelves.
I give this one 5 red roses
