Miss Peregrime’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Title : Miss Peregrime’s Home for Peculiar Children
Author: Ransom Riggs
Date Read: April 2012
Why did you read it: It looked like a very interesting book.
What was it about: A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. 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 were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

It was strange and unusual and after reading it, I had to share it with everyone I know. I made sure that my mom, sister and best friend all heard about it so they could enjoy it as well.
