Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom RiggsThis story intrigues from the beginning. As the author modestly describes it, “this is a quirky little novel illustrated with photos.” The odd collection of vintage photos that is showcased, integral to the story, fascinates and haunts you. Your excitement to read the next plot turn is matched by your eagerness to see the next curious photo.
It all starts with the angst of the Portman family, . . . . .
