The #1 New York Times best-selling series.**
Includes an excerpt from Hollow City and an interview with author
Ransom Riggs
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of
very 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 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.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage
photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight
adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.
"A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs
and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable
story."--John Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Fault
in Our Stars
"With its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David
Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it's no wonder Miss
Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth
Century Fox. B+"--Entertainment Weekly
"'Peculiar' doesn't even begin to cover it. Riggs' chilling, wondrous
novel is already headed to the movies."--People
"You'll love it if you want a good thriller for the summer. It's a
mystery, and you'll race to solve it before Jacob figures it out for
himself."--Seventeen
