"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."
Ok I've read this books in 2019 and after watching the film so if this review is kind of as a memory of the feeling I got while reading it (the same apply to book 2 and 3 of this serie)
I liked the book for sure and probably since I saw the movie first I got spoiler from myself and well... that happens a lot 😂
The idea is great and it's really sweet to see how each kid protect each other even if I got a bad feeling for at least 1 kid.
The peculiarity of each one is better explained in the book than in the movie and the best about this serie is that actually the author added the pictures where he got inspired for the book so even if the book is 300 pages you have a lot of them that are just pictures.
Also how the chapters appear is quite appealing for young readers: it's literally 1 page saying "Chapter + number" in brown. I got that "pause effect" after each chapter. Also they are not big so you can go quickly into the reading.
