Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel

Ransom Riggs's haunting fantasy bestseller adapted to a graphic novel!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When Jacob Portman was a boy, his grandfather regaled him with stories of his fantastic life at Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children during the Second World War, even sharing photos of the remarkable children with whom he resided. As Jacob grew up, though, he decided that these photos were obvious fakes, simple forgeries designed to stir up his youthful imagination. Or were they...?

Following his grandfather's death — a scene Jacob literally couldn't believe with his own eyes — the sixteen-year-old boy embarks on a mission to disentangle fact from fiction in his grandfather's tall tales. But even his grandfather's elaborate yarns couldn't prepare Jacob for the eccentricities he will discover at Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children!
