Riggs, Ransom. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Philadelphia, PA: Quirk, 2011. Print.
Intended Audience: Ages 12 and older
Genre: Fantasy
Personal Reaction: This book was creepy. I loved it, don't get me wrong, but it was creepy. There are photographs littered throughout the novel which you find after reading it, are actual photographs. It is the story of children known as peculiars and their life in a time loop and how Jacob came to find them. Jacob watched his grandfather die at the hands of a monster only he could see and later finds he is one of very few people who can. At the end their time loop is broken and Miss Peregrine (their leader of sorts, who turns into a peregrine) is left inhabiting a peregrine's body. At the end of the story Jacob and the other peculiars go to search for another time loop and leave Jacob's father to stay in the "real world." Without divulging the entire story I'm unsure of how else to describe my reaction, so read it yourself.
Author Facts: Ransom Riggs loves to travel, especially to those places not easily found on maps. He also enjoys scuba diving and telling stories. When he was much younger he and his friend created videos starring themselves on an old video camera they found.
