A MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. — AN ABANDONED ORPHANAGE. — A STRANGE COLLECTION OF VERY PECULIAR PHOTOGRAPHS. — It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As the 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’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow -- impossible though it seems -- they may still be alive.

Page turner and reminded me how to use my imagination again! I absolutely loved the use of actual photographs between the pages. I would happily recommend this book to a fiction lover of any age after young adult.
