Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children written by Ransom Riggs is a Young Adult fiction, horror fiction, and Dark Fantasy book. It is a story about a boy named Jacob who has a very interesting grandfather. His Grandpa Port-man was a survivor of the Holocaust and has very interesting stories. He told Jacob how when he left Poland he went to an island. He stayed in a home with peculiar children with peculiar abilities. He even has photographs to prove it but when Grandpa port-man is killed by a creature, he tells Jacob to go to the island. Jacob decides to go to the island and see the home his grandfather stayed in and to see the peculiar children, but the house is empty. Then the children come and he realizes he is in a loop in 1940.
The problem in the story is when Jacob gets stuck in a loop and he is in the time of WW2. This can compare to an event in history at pearl harbor they were on a an island being bombed and the same thing is happening in wales were Jacob is. I can connect this to our world because we have orphans that live together in houses with a head mistress. Miss Peregrine is the Head Mistress in the home for peculiar children.
This makes me wonder how Jacob got into the loop? If I were Jacob I would be asking a lot more questions.
I would read this book. I thought it gave a good description about the setting of the book. Especially when it talks about the island.
