Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

“A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story.”—John Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars

“Riggs deftly moves between fantasy and reality, prose and photography to create an enchanting and at times positively terrifying story.”—Associated Press

“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

“One of the coolest, creepiest YA books.”—PopSugar


When a devastating family tragedy propels sixteen-year-old Jacob on a journey to a remote island off the coast of Wales, he stumbles upon the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As he explores the abandoned rooms, he uncovers a chilling truth—these children were not just peculiar, they were potentially dangerous, and they may have been quarantined for a reason. Trapped on this desolate island, their supernatural abilities and the mysteries surrounding them deepen. Impossibly, they may still be alive, their existence defying the laws of time and nature.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is the unforgettable first novel in Ransom Riggs’s bestselling YA series, blending supernatural mystery, gothic adventure, time travel, and haunting photography into a one-of-a-kind reading experience.
  • Bestselling dark fantasy and supernatural mystery series opener
  • Features more than fifty haunting vintage photographs integrated into the narrative
  • Richly atmospheric Welsh island setting
  • Appeals to both teen and adult fantasy readers
  • Adapted into a major motion picture directed by Tim Burton

Step into the mystery and discover a world where being peculiar may be the greatest power of all.
