Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children
Miss Peregrine Book One
By Ransom Riggs
Jacob’s grandfather has always told
him stories of the orphanage where he had lived for a while and the peculiar
children who reside there such as the levitating girl or the girl who could
control fire even the boy who was completely invisible unless he wore
clothes. As Jacob grew older he began to
dismiss his grandfather’s tales as fairy tales that is until the night his
grandfather died and he saw something that would begin his journey to find the
orphanage and some answers.
This book is the young adult version
of a picture book, and the pictures that tie into the story are amazing and
bring an altogether new depth into the reading experience. Ransom Riggs did an
extraordinary job bringing to life a broad set of characters each one with
their own remarkable gift. The story itself is captivating as Jacob comes to
terms with what he has seen and learns that he is not a coward inside after
all, nor is he going insane. This is a great book I think this would be a good
book to use for a young adult who is having a hard time getting into reading as
the visual aids would entice them to keep going. I can’t wait to read the next
book and find out more about the peculiar children.
