Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs


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.A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Nu imi place nici continutul cu atat mai putin coperta.

Mie imi place coperta, asa in alb negru si cu fetita aceea scary care parca pluteste

Fetita de pe coperta e prea creepy, cand ma gandesc la un copil de varsta el mi-l imaginez cu o minge, sau un zmeu razand si alergand, nici decum plutind si fiind atat de serios.

Si soarele e o stea
