Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children Book 1)

A mysterious island and an abandoned orphanage await discovery in this novel that combines fiction with vintage photography. When a family tragedy strikes, sixteen-year-old Jacob travels to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he finds the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As he explores the empty bedrooms and hallways, Jacob learns that the children who once lived there were more than simply peculiar—they may have been dangerous, quarantined on the deserted island for a reason. Impossibly, they may still be alive. This fantasy novel uses haunting vintage photographs alongside its narrative to tell an unforgettable story. The book is the first in the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series and includes bonus features: a Q&A with author Ransom Riggs, eight pages of color stills from the film adaptation, and a sneak preview of the next novel, Hollow City.
