"A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine{u2019}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{u2019}s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here{u2014}one of whom was his own grandfather{u2014}were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow{u2014}impossible though it seems{u2014}they may still be alive"--Publisher's description.
