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. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. It is a bit creep but that is was makes you want to read more!

This book is so creepy and unique in its own way that I cant wait to keep reading! The story plot so far seems very interesting and makes the reader wonder in what direction the character will go to.

This book is AMAZING! Is a new type of fantasy I've never read before. It definitely makes my list of top three series, of all time. WARNING, READ ALL THREE BOOKS IN THE SERIES BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE!!!!!!! I didn't, and was disappointed that it gave away the end of the series.

Hands down the best book I have ever read. It evolves into the best series ever written.

I have seen the movie and the movie is very attention grabbing. I want to read this book next.
