curious & wonderfully peculiar

Jacob is a 16 year old boy who has spent his childhood listening to his grandfather's stories.

The stories take place on a mysterious island. They involve time travel, an abandoned orphanage, shapeshifting, and a strange collection of vintage photographs. 

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a book that must make it into your reading queue... it's thrilling, creepy, mysterious, and adventurous. Read it before it becomes a movie. Word on the internet is that Tim Burton is purchasing the rights to it... which could be wonderfully curious.
