Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Riggs, R. (2013). Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children: The graphic novel. New York, NY: Yen Press. New York Times Bestseller. Jacob has listened to stories from his grandfather for years. His grandfather shared many photos of his time at Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. After his grandfather’s death he begins a journey to find the setting of all his grandfather’s stories and pictures. The mix of real pictures and a fantasy story is very impressive to me. Without reading the story, one could believe it is a non-fiction story by just looking at the photographs. This add such a different touch to the story. This is a great story to share with young adults, ages 14-18. It mixes a little creepiness with fantasy as to not make it scary at all.  The author does a fantastic job of making us take a step back from reality and really believe what we are reading. If you can forget that time travel is not possible, then the book is fabulous. The characters were created in a way that they became very real and believable.
