Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children is a horror novel which has been appreciated by people all over the world also me as an avid reader. It is completely filled with thrill and mystery .. and does not disappoint thrill seeking readers. The brief summary is as follows - As a child, Jacob Magellan Portman(the main character.. a young man) has been fascinated with his grandfather Abraham's stories about surviving as a Jew during World War II such as being attacked by man-eating monsters, and living with peculiar children in a secret home guarded by "a wise old bird". As Jacob grows older, he begins to question the stories until the arrival of his grandfather's death. Blood-strewn, exhausted, and lying in his back garden on the outskirts of Florida Woods, Abraham's last words are a mystery: "...find the bird in the loop" and on the other side of the old man's grave it is written "and tell them what happened." As his grandfather dies, Jacob catches sight of a horrific monster just like the ones described in Abraham's stories. Soon, he starts experiencing trauma and being plagued with nightmares relating to those monsters. Believing their son is going crazy, Jacob's parents take him to Dr. Golan, a psychiatrist, who suggests that Jacob go to Cairnholm, Wales, the location of his grandfather's children's home to confront the place of his trauma. On his own, Jacob locates and explores the old house only to find it empty and everything caked in dust. According to the local people, the place is haunted and a bomb had killed all its inhabitants many years ago, on September 3, 1940. The rest of the story should be an adventure left only to his readers.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is such a book that should be read when there is a desire for a little horror in life when you are feeling bored and have nothing to do and I think that this is the best book that you should choose to read.
I think that this book is really scary and is bone- chilling but I think that there is just too much horror there could have at least been one chapter that could have given some relief to the characters which would make the reader a little relieved, and comfortable.
