Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Ransom Riggs has created quite the extraordinary book here. It also reads like a graphic novel of sorts as there are a lot of odd photos to accompany the text. It crosses genres rather seamlessly as well, between Urban YA to Fantasy to Horror to a Speculative fictional realm where Miss Peregrines' home resides. It is a rare read with well-developed characters and plot. The children are all quite odd, though strangely likable. If you want different, this is as different as it gets. Gave me chills of the good and ill-feeling variety. That’s what you want, yes? I do.   

Having an epic, peculiar power sounds like fun, doesn’t it? What if that meant that you were cast out and disconnected from your family? What if there was a place where you could find others just as strange as you, but just as different as you are from the rest of the world? 

Eery, haunting antique photographs give the book shiver-inducing realism as Jacob finds out about this formed family of peculiars, and about whether he might become to be a part of their group.  

Bonus: The story may just have a time loop or two. I mean, how do… show more.
