Why are people giving this book such low review, because I really enjoyed this book! If you want to rate something really low, give the Sun and the Star one star, because that book is TRASH!!!! This book on the other hand is AMAZING!!!…

Worst book ever? Written by a 12 year old? Too boring and ridiculous to finish. Pictures were interesting; hence the one star.

WONDERFUL BOOK!!! Not quite what I imagined from the cover, but amazing, nonetheless. Riggs immerses you into a delightful world of suspense, filled with flawed characters who will capture the empathy of readers. I really enjoyed this book…

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is a terrifyingly good read. The monsters are not just threatening, they are viscerally discomforting, and feel as if they would be better suited for a horror movie. I can say for…

I read this book for the 52 books in 52 weeks reading challenge. I used the 2022 prompt read a book that has photographs inside. It was perfect for october. A little spooky, but not terrifying. We watched the movie together afterwards.…

I recently just finished this, and I actually enjoyed it. It is VERY different from the movie though, so don't go into it expecting it to be the same. I also found the movie to be WAYYYY more creepy than the book. It was helpful to watch…

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was one of the many books I own that had been sitting on my shelf, unread, collecting dust for many years. When the movie came out, I had even refused to watch the trailer in a desperate attempt…

The first book of Ransom Riggs's Peculiar's series, this fantastical novel introduces readers to a world of individuals with extraordinary gifts. Similar in some ways to stories like the X-Men, Riggs finds a new niche within the genre, and…
