Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is the book that I have just finished reading. This is the story of Jacob a teenager who isn't exactly happy with his life and doesn't feel like he fits in. He is close to his grandfather who has always been a bit odd making up weird stories about children in some strange old photos that he has. He receives a cryptic message from his grandfather right before his death and decides to go back to the home he was raised in to get answers to who his grandfather really was.
This was a quick enjoyable read, the strange old photos throughout the whole book were also very interesting. I found myself looking forward to them as much as the story. There was also an obscure reference about one of my husbands favorite tv shows (Father Ted) which you don't hear mentioned everyday.
While looking online for a picture I saw a post saying that there is a sequel coming out to this book sometime in 2013 and the movie rights had also been sold.
I would recommend this book I enjoyed it.
