I read this book (the novel version) back in 2011 when it first came out and fell in love. The story is engaging and fresh, with decent character development and amazing universe creation. If this were not so tightly woven with fantasy, it could almost be historical fiction. The graphic novel was released in 2013 and I completely missed it until now. I was so excited to go back and read through this childhood (well, young-adulthood) favorite! This was great new way to revisit the story. I loved how the graphics were only in colour for the Peculiars and not when Jacob was not believing in or with them. It did not have the same depth as the novel, but it captured it beautifully and the art matched the character description a whole lot more than the cast for the movie. no reviews | add a review

"A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob on a journey 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" -- from publisher's web site. No library descriptions found. |

The characters were beautiful and they even kept the photographs from the original novel. My only complaint is that the story seemed to move far too quickly, but that's to be expected of a manga. That might just be a stigma because I did start reading the original which is, naturally, filled with more detail and slow pacing.
If you don't like reading full on novels but are still looking for an awesome story to get sucked into, I recommend giving this a try! I love the storyline and the characters, and I can't wait to read the next part!
Side note: I'd like to take a moment to fangirl over Enoch because he's sexy as fuck and reminds me of my all time love, Gaara. I would read a thousand books just for him okay ♡ ( )
