In this book, our main character Jacob grows up haring strange tales from his Grandfather. As he gets older though, he doesn't believe them anymore and thinks his grandpa was just telling stories. One day though, Jacob witnesses something very... well, peculiar. Following the aftermath of a terrible family tragedy, Jacob finds himself traveling to the tiny island of Cairnholm, where he tries to dig up as much as he can about Miss Peregrine and her orphanage, something he's only heard about in his grandfather's old stories and pictures-and something nobody else seems to know anything about. What Jacob discovers, however, is something that he never expected-something he can't tell anyone about, or risk being killed. Jacob goes on a series of peculiar adventures and little does he know that everything his grandpa told him was true- and his part in the story was more crucial than he ever knew. Following in his Gaandfather's footsteps, Jacob sets out to defend what he finds on this island-even though that means he may never return home.
This book was very enjoyable, full of mystery and adventure! I'm definitely going to be reading the sequel, Hollow City, very soon. Even though I did like the book, I didn't love it. I felt like the main questions were answered too soon, and left the rest of the book with little mystery, which was one of it's best qualities. That doesn't mean that I didn't like it or wouldn't recommend it! It's still a great book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! 4 out of 5 noodles!
