Happy Monday YAs!
The Book:
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children , an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.
I haven't read this one, but it sounds pretty awesome. Creepy tale plus kids in in vintage (think: old black and white) photographs? Awesome.
What we know about the Movie:
20th Century Fox owns the movie rights and Tim Burton (omg!) is attached to direct. TIM BURTON, PEOPLE! That's awesome! This is perfect for him! I wonder if it'll be animated, stop motion, or live? That's about all the news we have on this one so far. Will fill ya in when I find out more! In the mean time...read it!
