This is a new find for me. I saw it in the bookstore last week and I was curious by it's cover photo. I heard it's an interesting novel illustrated with great vintage photos. Googled it, and I learned it's words and illustrations is about to be brought to the big screen. The film is under development and the rumored Director, one of my favorite, is none other than Tim Burton. Personally, basing on the eerie feeling the book cover shows, I think there's no other Director who can do it.
I haven't read the book yet but I do have it on queue, of course after Catching Fire which I've delayed too many times this year, mainly because I'm a little bit irritated with Katniss's ignorance on what she really feels about Peeta.
Well, enough of that. Here's the synopsis for "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" :
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.
