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 loved this book. It's about a kid called Jacob. As a child, he heard many stories from his Grandfather, Abe, including one about a mysterious children's home with all kinds of kids with peculiar powers. He grows up to forget the story... When Grandpa dies. He leaves strange dying words and Jacob sets out to uncover the secret of those words, going on a daring adventure as he fights with his friends for survival... This book is not that well known, but has a mystery like Harry Potter that grasps you like Percy Jackson does. Uncover secrets, go on a thrilling adventure... It all starts when you open this book. Try it! It is truly amazing. For more information, go to amazon and search up this book. Watch the video!
