When Jacob explores the home that his grandfather lived in he is met with a surprise. A surprise that will change his view of the world and what is real.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a great book that effortlessly combines pictures and words into a great story. Once I started reading this book I couldn't stop reading it. I enjoyed how the author incorporated photographs into the story. Even though the book is a little bit slow in the beginning it is well worth taking the time to read. I think that fans of fantasy and horror would enjoy this book. Because of some creepy and romantic aspects to this book I would wait to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children until you are 11.
5 out of 5 stars
My dad showed this book to me. as you said it is a horror-ish book, and I don't like horror books.
