A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And 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 who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate 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.

I like this book. I probably should have been a little bit older, but was pretty good. It does have some Inappropriate stuff and swear words, so I would recommend it to ages 13+

Awesome book I tell you

I loved loved this book. I heard the movie was coming out, but I wanted to read the book first. There is some cursing for those of you who are uncomfortable with that. It includes some really cool photographs, and the children are just amazing. I can't wait til' I can get my hands on the 2nd book.

This book is great!! Lots of detail! Really doesn't get going till the end of Chapter Two!! NOTE: There are a LOT of bad words in the original one (that's the one I have) so beware!!
