Creepy photos and a scary fantasy world isn’t something to be part of any nighttime routine, yet it has become part of mine thanks to Ransom Riggs’s soon-to-be-movie fictional novel, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children follows a young boy named Jacob Portman and his (mis)adventures, all caused by the death of his grandfather. Jacob’s grandfather was killed by a creature of some sort that he cannot comprehend. After a bit of family tension, he meets a girl named Emma and finds himself stuck in the 1940s through a loop, a portal that brings one to a place where a day is repeated everyday. In the loop, Miss Peregrine, the orphanage head, takes care of children who were more than human. They were peculiar, people that had special abilities, special powers. Emma, had fire manipulating abilities. Other peculiarities (read: powers) were invisibility, floating 24/7, extra human strength, and more.
