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 want this book so badly!! My mom has it and I have seen the movie trailers for it!!

Jacob is a teen that growing up didn't didn't have many friends, just two, his grandfather and a trouble maker. when his grandfather died , he was heart broken and wanted to go find the orphanage his grandfather told him about when he was younger and right before he died in front of Jacobs eyes. Jacobs parents took him to a psychologist. his psychologist told him and his parents about letting go see the orphanage... where he meets unlikely people and an amazing world in a cave.He makes new friends and maybe a lover and finds out more and more things about his grandfather. A regular person might think all this is bonkers or weird. But if you are like Jacob, its just peculiar. ( wow that was like the best series ever! its tied with Ruby Red Trilogy. I just started the second book this morning!)
