Reviews
"This peculiar parable is pure perfection."-- Justine magazine "A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story."--John Green,  New York Times  best-selling author of Looking for Alaska  and  Paper Towns "With its  X-Men: First Class -meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it's no wonder  Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children  has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox. B+"-- Entertainment Weekly "'Peculiar' doesn't even begin to cover it. Riggs' chilling, wondrous novel is already headed to the movies."-- People   "[A] thrilling, Tim Burton-esque tale with haunting photographs."-- USA Today Pop Candy "Readers searching for the next Harry Potter may want to visit  Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children ."--CNN "You'll love it if you want a good thriller for the summer.

    The shipping was pretty quick. The packaging very secure and well. Describe exactly as picture. Value price for item great. Seller did a great job with my order. My order arrived very fast in the mail. I highly recommend this seller! "Crocodile Dundee" in Los Angeles is the third film in the series. It has lots of action and comedy combined. If you enjoyed the first two sequels then you will enjoy this one as well.

    Eerie,odd &true!

    I was curious when I first saw the title & I have to admit, it lives up to it's name- the children described in the book are definitely peculiar! And as the author states some were dangerous so the "home" was quarantined on a deserted island. If you like scary stories this book will fulfill your curiosity!

  • Miss Peregrine’s series

    If you have only seen the movie and want to read all the continuing story you need to read the first book or there will be problems understanding what has happened in the next three. Well written series.

    Good read for teens and young adults. I read it at the request of my 15 y.o. granddaughter and must say it held my interest. Compelling fact, book is based on actual photos.
