Ransom Riggs: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1) (2011, Quirk Books) 4 stars

A horrific family tragedy sends sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast …

This is quite an enticing Fantastic novel, based on old pictures collected by the author or by other people who kindly made them available for this book. At first, the story is quite weird and so is the writing style. It took me a little while to get into it. However, this is the first book of a series and I ended up wanting to know what happens next to the group of peculiar heroes of this story. So, even though, the story might initially feel not too endearing, you do get to appreciate the ideas and the characters. So, now, onto book n°2, Hollow City.
