Book of the Week Time!

Mr. Bott's Book of the Week: 
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children



This is the strangest, craziest, most...well...peculiar book I've read this year. The pictures on the back cover act as a nice little preface when beginning this story. The story will be adapted to a film which Tim Burton is going to direct in the near future. Until then, check out the book trailer and description below. Don't get too freaked out....


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.
