The book I read was “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Ransom Riggs has written travel essays. His first novel is “StrangeGeographies”. This book compares to his other books because it is a very
different kind of story, it is nothing like any other authors stories. This
story is about a boy’s family story. His grandfather is from a very distant
island where he faced strange encounters. The boy goes to the island where his
grandfather had been before his death. He finds things completely out of the
ordinary. He faces the same encounters
as his grandfather. Will he face the same nightmares as his grandfather or
accomplish what his grandfather did not. The theme of this story is greed;
Greed plays a big role in the beginning of the book. Emotions play a big role in the story too.
Time periods also, characters use time periods often to understand something
unexplainable.
This story is about unexplainable events of characters and
the past of an ordinary family with a very unordinary family member’s past that
are shockingly real. The main character realizes that he has to face the
unexplainable encounters of his grandfather. Something intriguing in this story
is that Jacob’s grandfather suffers from nightmares that take him back to his
past; Jacob is faced with the conflict of the truth of his grandfather’s
unforgettable past. A book was given to
Jacob from his grandfather giving him a hint of what was to come. On the inside
of the book it said “To Jacob Magellan Portman, and the worlds he has yet to
discover” Jacob is then faced with events that are unexplainable and unbelievable.
I recommend this book to others, because it is definitely
different than any other books. This book will keep you on the edge of your
seat wanting to know more, every page is filled with extremely unbelievable
events that are surprisingly different to the human mind. You should read this
if you like mystery and adventure. This book is great for you.
Book Review by Kortney S.
I agree with the book review above. I agree with it because it is a very accurate description of the book.I think this because they reference how the main character has issues at the beginning of the book but he gets over it progressively as the story goes on. I agree with his book review because this book is great and is one of the best book s i have read this year
