Author : Ransom Riggs

After his grandfather's murder, 16 year old Jacob Portman goes to Wales to learn more about his grandfather's life. He finds that his grandfather lived in a treacherous orphanage for peculiar children . That is where he meets Emma, a strikingly pretty girl who can control fire. She uses time travel to take him back to 1940 to meet Miss Peregrine, the orphanage director, who lives with the other children in a time loop . Jacob enjoys spending time with the other peculiar children such as Millard, who is invisible, and Bronwyn ,who has incredible strength. Jacob hears stories of mysterious deaths in the region, which were caused by the hollows or hollowgasts, the same monsters that killed his grandfather. Jacob later learns that he too is peculiar, and realises only he can see the monsters and stop the killings.

After Jacob kills one of the hollows, Miss Peregrine is kidnapped. The children rescue Miss Peregrine, but she is in bird form and cannot change back to human form. Instead the peculiar children must find another time loop when theirs fails to reset. A loop must be reset every day by its owner in this case, Miss Peregrine – and she is trapped as a bird, causing the loop to disappear and forcing the children to find a new home.

I would rate this book a 7/10 it was very in depth and the characters were definitely structured well overall it is a good book .
