“When someone won't let you in, eventually you stop knocking.”

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Philadelphia, Penn. : Quirk Books, c2011.

Jacob Portman’s grandfather believes in monsters and he believes that they are after him. After witnessing his brutal death, suddenly 16 year-old Jacob believes in them too. Fearing he has gone mad, his parents consent to him leaving for a atmospheric Welsh island, where his grandfather lived during the war after being plucked from a concentration camp, hoping that this will cure his grief. There he goes looking for Miss Peregrine and her bunch of misfits that populated his grandfather’s stories. Could there really be a boy who can reanimate the dead? Or a girl with the power of fire? A potent blend of realism and fantasy.
