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.
