Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Have you ever wanted to have superpowers and be able to live on a island with a whole bunch of peculiar children? “ Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children” is a fascinating book, it will give you glimpse of what it feels like to live with peculiar people. This book was written by Ransom Riggs, he has written many other books like “Hollow City” and “ Library ofsouls”. The theme of this book is to trust people, throughout the book trust is expressed because Jacob had to trust his grandfather was telling him the truth about the monsters and the island.

“ Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children” is about a young boy named Jacob, his grandfather was raised in a orphanage, fought in wars and even performed in circus. Jacob's grandfather Abe would tell him stories about his childhood, about how he grew up with peculiar children. His grandfather Abe would tell Jacob fantastic stories and show him pictures of peculiar children. Jacob believed all the stories that his grandfather would tell him. When Jacob got older he started realizing that the stories that his grandfather was telling him were actually real . If you want to find out more I suggest you to read this book.


I really liked this book, because I thought it was really interesting, the part that grabbed my attention was where all the peculiar children have superpowers and they could do things that no one else can do. A lot of mysterious things happen in this book that Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children can do. I think you should read this book, because it's a good book and I think it might catch your attention.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

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.
