Description (from the publisher):
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 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.

Oh my! This does sound like an entrancing read, and one that I am adding to my wish list right now! Thanks for sharing it with us!
This one actually looks kind of disturbing. :-)

Sounds pretty good... Disturbing, but good!
Sounds kind of spooky! But fun!
Love the creepy cover and the spooky plot!
That sounds awesome! I love the title and the cover.
The title reminded me of X-Men and especially of Xavier.
That seems very creepy and intriguing all at the same time. I'm curious as to how creepy/scary it will be.
This has a rally creepy looking cover!
This book definitely sounds interesting! Worth looking into.
