Strange, Particular, Odd, Weird: PECULIAR

If you are into fiction and vintage photography then you need to check out Miss Perengrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Quirk Books, 2011) by Ransom Riggs.





Combine a mysterious island, an abandoned orphanage, and a collection of strange photos and you've got an unforgettable novel.











Amazon.com Review
As a kid, Jacob formed a special bond with his grandfather over his bizarre tales and photos of levitating girls and invisible boys.  Now at 16, he is reeling from the old man's unexpected death.  Then Jacob is given a mysterious letter that propels him on a journey to the remote Walsh Island where his grandfather grew up.  There, he finds the children from the photographs--alive and well--despite the islander's assertion that all were killed decades ago.  Interspersed with photos throughout, Miss Perengrine's Home for Peculiar Children is truly an atmospheric novel with plot twists, turns, and surprises that will delight readers of any age.  (www.amazon.com).
