Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

When you find a good book you just want to tell everyone so they can enjoy it just as much!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is just that for me. I know they say never judge a book by the cover. But honestly that's what attracted me to this book. I passed it by numerous times in Walmart; creeped out by the peculiar image on the cover, however intrigued none the less.

Without reading much of the summary I decided to toss it in my cart and call it a day finally. A week later, after finishing whatever book I was reading at the time, this book called out to me. I just had to know and understand what the picture was all about.

This normally doesn't happen to me, when I finish a book I usually pick one that has been on my shelves for months or even years. But as I have learned when a book calls to you there is a reason.

I had been on the hunt for a new favorite author for a very long time and with this book I found one.

Riggs intertwines the fantasy world of Miss Peregrine's Home with random and fascinating pictures, each of which is a character within the book. This book is a true page turner as you learn and explore the depths of this world with Jacob as he attempts to understand the world in which his grandfather grew up in.

Without giving details away, the book left me wanting more, wanting to know what will happen to the children and Miss Peregrine and the world in which they live. What I got was a new favorite author. I can't wait for the release of Riggs new book Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, in which I hope that this turns into a continuous series of which I will follow until the end!
