How to Find A Creepy-Good YA Novel in 4 Easy Steps
Step One
Watch this:
A mysterious island.
An abandoned orphanage.
A strange collection of very peculiar 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 Miss Peregrine's 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 photographs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Step Three
Step Four
Read it. Love it. (Okay, that's two steps. Whatever.)
See how easy that was?
(Readalikes: Um, I can't think of anything. Can you?)
Grade: B+
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children from the generous folks at Quirk Books.

I want to read this book so bad- I need to move it up in my TBR
ReplyDeleteSo have you read it yet?? Mine is sitting on my shelf just waiting. Maybe this weekend. Those kids are truly strange and that teaser trailer. Brrrr!
ReplyDeleteClever, clever, clever....
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome!
Well, you've convinced me.
ReplyDeleteThis sound deliciously creepy. I may just have to steal a copy. ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I'd like this or not, but I added it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI so loved this book. The storyline was so unique, it was quite fun to have something different for a change.

I've got this book sitting on my TBR pile (after getting to see the book cover in a huge poster format at BEA this past May) and hope to read it soon!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this book! I loved the idea of the pictures. I've read the first two and can't wait to get my hands on the third! :-)
