Want to instantly feel better about being a teen? Be thankful you’re not peculiar…
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is a book was so weirdly compelling it had me from the moment I saw the strange image on the cover – it had to be different from your average vampire romance.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
A bestselling story for young adults that appeals to a wide audience, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is based on a fantastical collection of sepia photographs, of children with strange abilities.
Following clues left from his Grandfather’s violent death, Jake becomes linked with the fate of the original and colourful characters that fill a slip of time, hidden on an island. The reader becomes drawn in too, unable to stop reading late into the night. That’s always the sign of a great book.
Leaving room for a couple of sequels in the series, which is up to book 3: The Library of Souls, this first story begins an epic journey of self-discovery and adventure for Jacob and his new friends as they try to escape those who would expose them.
Are ghosts a photograph of time? What is really behind the spooky photographs that are sprinkled through the pages? The really scary thing about this book is that images in the antique pictures seem REAL.
The very exciting news is that Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is making the transition to the big screen! It will be in cinemas this week, with a star studded lineup which includes Dame Judi Dench as Miss Avocet.
Before you see it, I urge you to read the book.
If anyone can do this book justice, Tim Burton can? I have high hopes…
