After a family tragedy, Jacob feels compelled to explore an abandoned orphanage on an island off the coast of Wales, discovering disturbing facts about the children who were kept there. - Random House, Inc.
The #1 New York Times best-selling series.
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrineâs 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 Peregrineâs 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 somehowâimpossible though it seemsâthey may still be alive. ??A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrineâs Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

âA tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story.ââJohn Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars
âWith its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, itâs no wonder Miss Peregrineâs Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox. B+ââEntertainment Weekly
ââPeculiarâ doesnât even begin to cover it. Riggsâ chilling, wondrous novel is already headed to the movies.ââPeople
âYouâll love it if you want a good thriller for the summer. Itâs a mystery, and youâll race to solve it before Jacob figures it out for himself.ââSeventeen
