A mysterious island. An abandoned
orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs. 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 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 on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
