Title: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #1)
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience.
