Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

About Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Step into a world where the extraordinary is commonplace with Ransom Riggs' captivating novel, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. This thrilling Young Adult fantasy adventure begins with sixteen-year-old Jacob Portman, whose life takes an unexpected turn after a horrific family tragedy. Driven by his grandfather's mysterious last words, Jacob journeys to a remote island off the coast of Wales, seeking answers and a place that exists only in old tales.

On the island, Jacob discovers the crumbling, abandoned ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As he explores its desolate bedrooms and eerie hallways, it becomes chillingly clear that the children who once lived there were far more than just peculiar. They possessed extraordinary abilities, perhaps even dangerous ones, leading to their apparent quarantine on this deserted isle. But the most unsettling revelation is the possibility that, against all odds, these peculiar children may still be alive. Riggs masterfully weaves a spine-tingling narrative with haunting vintage photographs, creating a unique and unforgettable reading experience that blends fiction and eerie reality. This book is perfect for readers in Malta and Gozo who love mystery, fantasy, and a touch of the macabre.
