Ransom Riggs -- Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children -- Gables 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 by Ransom Riggs will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Jacob är 16 år, och när hans farfar dör återvänder han till den avlägsna ön utanför Wales kust. Jacobs farfar brukade berätta om barnen med märkliga förmågor, och om hemmet de vistades på, men Jacob har aldrig trott honom. Men nu hittar han de fallfärdiga ruinerna av Miss Peregrines hem för besynnerliga barn och massor med mystiska fotografier. Fanns barnen? Eller – ännu värre – finns de fortfarande kvar?
