Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

The inspiration for this novel (antique found photography) is what truly makes this an adventure worth pursuing! The story begins with a murder and a grandson's journey into his family's mysteries, only to get caught up in the most extraordinary adventure he never imagined could even exist. Throughout the text are haunting photographs that the author found on various antique journeys throughout Europe and these photographs actually guide the story. While I read the book on the Nook, I can only imagine the effect in an actual book. I will warn that the book is predictable, but there's a reason that proven formula exists--it makes for one fantastic read! And of course, like all good young adult fiction, sets up the reader for a sequel.

If you're up for adventure, a litte fear, some romance and delicious mystery, then jump in to this novel! 

For added bonus: Ransom Riggs made a book trailer for the novel--you can see it here!
