It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine'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's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its decaying bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine's children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined for a good reason. And somehow -- impossible though it seems -- they may still be alive." by Ransom Riggs 1st book of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children Sequel: Hollow City Orphanages Juvenile fiction Islands Juvenile fiction Exceptional children Juvenile fiction PZ 7 .R4423 Mi 2013 978-1-59474-603-1 180220 20251113142500.0
