Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs

Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs

 

This story starts out with a boy and his family. His grandfather tells him stories about his youth of children that are not like any other children that anyone knows of. they have, "abilites." 

One girl can fly, a boy is invisible...the list goes on.

The boy ends up not believing his grandfather as time comes goes on. One day, his grandfather is killed and tells him in his dying breath to go to the island and that he would be safe there.

 

This story can be gripping, and a wonderful page turner. The only thing I have bad to say about this one is the language and consumption of alcohol.

 

This book is for teens as well as adults. If only authors could use more creative words then profanity to portray the story, and grip the readers.

 

On a scale of 1-10 I give this one about a 7. 

Warnings for Parents:

Alcohol use
Profanity
Mild Violence
