MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN by Ransom Riggs
Sixteen-year-old Jacob has heard his grandfather's stories about Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children for years. But when Jacob witnesses his grandfather's brutal murder and the strange being responsible, he realizes that perhaps the place is real, and he talks his father into taking him to the small island off the coast of Wales where the home is located.
I couldn't put this book down. It is full of suspense and supernatural forces of both good and evil. Intriguing photographs of the "peculiar children" are presented throughout. But I wish a different photograph were chosen for the cover. I'm afraid the picture of the young girl will discourage boy readers, but I think boys (and girls) will love this book. The ending is a big unfinished, so a sequel must be coming!
This book trailer is really well-done introduces the story better than I can...
