Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

       From  the outside this book seems as a horror book, only to be read by a people with a spine. Well I can tell you I am not one to read creepy, scary, hair-standing-on-edge books, and I actually enjoyed this novel. Don't be fooled by the ghoulish cover, this book isn't as nightmarish as it seems, and can still be enjoyed by you wimps out there.


Plot: 
        The story unfolds as a regular boy, Jacob, finds out as his Grandfather's tall tales about his childhood might not be as far fetched as they seem. In fact, after a particular day when his Grandfather is brutally killed (or as Jacob thinks, murdered, after seeing some VERY frightful things), the stories become a lot closer than he thinks. Turned into what everyone else thinks of as down right crazy after that one day, Jacob sets out to find an abandoned orphanage, a mysterious island, and more photos that could match the ones his Grandfather left behind. And when Jacob finds what he is looking for, he is no longer an ordinary (but slightly crazy) kid, he is what his Grandfather was, and what the residents of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children see him to be.

        Now even after I tell you about the book you still might think it is too creepy for you. And who knows, maybe it is! But I advise you to at least TRY the book. You never know! What I liked about the book is that it had a lot of mystery, some adventure, and a pinch of a very interesting love story. That's right, this weird book has a love story! Now are you interested? Ransom Riggs writes this book with major suspense, very well written cliff hangers, and details that keep you reading like crazy. And the cool pictures are a big plus!
