Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Ransom Riggs)
Jacob had always assumed that his grandpa’s fanciful stories of the “peculiar children” and “monsters” were just that –stories, until he finds his grandpa fatally injured by one of the very “monsters” he so vividly described. With his dying breath, Jacob’s grandpa imparts a cryptic message of an island, a peregrine and an old man’s grave... but what does it all mean? So begins Jacob’s journey to uncover the truth in his grandpa’s stories, and his own personal truth.
Beautifully illustrated in a stark
comic book style which captures the movement and motion in a visual and even audible
manner, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a fantastic novel for
young readers who are seeking an equal measure of action, fantasy and horror in
their novels.
