Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

by Cassandra Jean, Ransom Riggs · 2011

When Jacob Portman discovers a crumbling ruin on a remote Welsh island, he uncovers a hidden world of extraordinary children—each with a unique, supernatural gift—who live under the watchful care of the enigmatic Miss Peregrine. As Jacob learns that the children are frozen in time, protected from a deadly, shape‑shifting menace known as the Hollows, he must decide whether to remain an ordinary teen or embrace his own hidden abilities. The novel weaves haunting vintage photographs with a fast‑paced, gothic adventure, inviting readers to step through a portal where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, and where courage is the most peculiar power of all.
