Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar ChildrenHorrific 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 than just peculiar They may have been dan This book has been getting a lot of well deserved attention for the way it incorporates unusual antiue photographs into the narrative The premise Jacob grew up on his grandfather’s stories about his own childhood during World War II Supposedly his grandfather escaped the Holocaust by taking refuge on a Welsh island at an orphanage that catered to children with strange powers The grandfather even has photos to prove it As Jacob grows up he loses faith in his grandfather and assumes the stories were fantasies the photos faked But when a horrible inexplicable tragedy occurs Jacob has to reevaluate Could those stories have been real? Could this island refuge still exist so many years later? And is it possible his grandfather’s paranoia about ‘monsters’ wasn’t just paranoia? Even without the photos this would be a gripping story but the photos add an irresistible element of mystery The first person narration is authentic funny and poignant I’m looking forward to the next volume in the series
