Title: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Author: Ransom Riggs
Jacob experiences a great tragedy in his life when he loses his grandfather -- perhaps the only person who understood him. That is until he meets the Peculiar Children.
The writing was descriptive and the pictures really helped to tell the story. Nice to have picture books as an adult!
