Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children
This book is about a boy named Jacob who's very odd grandpa had passed away in a very gruesome death that Jacob saw. His grandpa's last words were, "Find the bird. In the loop. On the other side of the old mans grave. September, third 1940." This led Jacob to many nightmares and consoling. for his birthday there was a present that his grandpa had left. I was a letter from Miss Peregrine, the bird. He needed to find out went his grandpas stories were about so him and his dad went to a distant island in the wales where the letter had said the home for peculiar children was. He found the home but couldn't figure out what the loop and the old mans grave was. After long time of searching he though he had heard voices coming from the house so he followed them to the bog. In the bog was were people a long time ago would make sacrifices by taking their lives, almost like a grave. When he came out from the bog everything was different and the date was 9/3/1940. Jacob meets Miss peregrine and she explains everything about his grandpa and the home. I would recommend this book if you like mysteries and adventure. It is kind of confusing so it may take some reading back. Overall it has been a great book so far and the story is amazing!

ReplyDeleteMs. Post recently also read that book and said it was very scary. What are your ideas on this issue? Also, to anybody else who has read this book, what is the problem the boy is trying to solve? It sounds interesting, but I'd like some more information before I read it.
