This really was an interesting read.
I almost put it down a few times because I was really creeped out, but now I'm glad I didn't. It's basically about this boy named Jacob who has a really wacky grandpa. He was in World War II and is really paranoid and crazy. He likes to show Jacob all these odd pictures of floating kids, kids lifting huge boulders, even a boy covered in bees.
Jacob's grandpa makes up stories about the kids and insists they're real, but Jacob doesn't buy it until his grandpa is murdered by strange creatures in the middle of the forest. It really messes Jacob up. He goes with his dad to an old island. His dad is there to do some bird-watching, but Jacob is looking for answers.
He finds them. He finds Ms.Peregrine's Home for Peculiar children, a strange orphanage trapped in 1940. Every story Jacob's grandfather had ever told him was true, and now there are terrifying creatures roaming the earth, longing for the children's flesh. And it's up to Jacob to stop them.
I thought this book was really creepy and... well... peculiar. It takes a bit to get going and there is some swearing, but once you get past that, it's actually really good. I would give it a B+ grade.
