Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

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.

This wasn't really my kind of book! I expected something else from this and it's strange because I read about the book before I got it. Well, I don't know. I know that it wasn't for me.

I didn't really feel anything about the book and I didn't fell for any of the characters. I know a lot of people love the book and it's characters but I'm just not one of them. The book wasn't as thrilling as I hoped it would be and therefore kind of boring.

Although - the design of the book and the pictures in it are fantastic!
