A strange collection of very curious photographs.


 
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive. 

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an

adventure in the shadows.

“‘Peculiar’ doesn’t even begin to cover it. Riggs’ chilling, wondrous novel is already headed to the movies.”—People
 
“You’ll love it if you want a good thriller for the summer. It’s a mystery, and you’ll race to solve it before Jacob figures it out for himself.”—Seventeen

Book 2. Six of Crows 

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price--and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. 
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. 
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first.

I love that Ransom Riggs writes his stories around real vintage photos. I will purchase anything by him just for that reason - I love old photos, too, and wonder about the people, occasion, etc. in them.

Riggs addition of photographs added so much more to this series. It was the main reason I picked up the first book to being with.

I am super intrigued by the world of the Grisha (ever since Shadow and Bone) and as far as MISS Peregrine's... I'm not sure how I feel about a horror novel involving children with special powers. We shall see once I pick them up :) Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed...

The "Miss Peregrine's" series is quite good; I just talk to my daughter about beginning the series. I love the photos in the books. I've wanted to read Six of Crows for some time now. Thanks for an outstanding giveaway.
