Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children Review

Reviewed by Charlotte Green

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And 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 who once lived here – one of whom was his own grandfather – were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow – impossible though it seems – they may still be alive.

This peculiar and thoroughly amazing book had me gripped right from the start. The characters are all very quirky and special in their own way. And the vintage photographs help to take the reader into a strange fantasy world. The story is very unique and keeps you guessing all the way through. I really enjoyed reading this book and when I finished it, I was left wanting more.

I will definitely be looking out for the next instalment.

The book is adventurous, exciting, magical and spooky! And a really wonderful story. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
