Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This book looks very interesting and will be ordered for next school year. The description on Amazon reads:
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
If there are any books you would like to see added to our school library collection please let me know and I will place them on order for next school year.
