Editor’s Note
“A chilling tale…”“Peculiar” is putting it mildly for this highly ambitious first novel that plays with the power of perceptions. A chilling tale full of gothic, X-Men-esque characters that’s been adapted for the big screen by Tim Burton.Scribd Editors

Summary
A mysterious island.
An abandoned orphanage.
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 makes for a thrilling listening 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, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.
After listening to the audiobook, look for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD.
