I liked the book, I liked it because it was full of adventure, wonder, supernatural beings and mystery. It was fiction, out of them all I liked Emma the best- she could conjured flame into her hand, it never burned her or set her on fire and she could attack and transfer the flame to anything. I would recommend this book to someone who craves wonder, adventure and a good old scare sometimes It also includes pictures in the book and you can see the people that featured in the pictures at the back of the book.

I love this book and I have watched the film, I like this book because it is really creepy, my favourite characters are Millard Nullings and the two twins (who when they take off their masks they turn whoever they are looking at into stone.) I would recommend anyone who likes creepy stories to read this one.

This book was very eerie. It was so amazing that my mom got the movie for me to look at too. So I had full experience of this story.

If you are looking or a more challenging read then look no further. Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children is what you should read. My faverourite character was Miss Peregrine herself. This book is fictional novel by Ransom Riggs.You should read it.

Great book, lots of creeps and an awesome storyline. Would recommend this read for 13+ since there is violence and some bad language. Much better than movie

I liked Millard the invisible boy as he was very funny spending all his years in the loop of time studying what had happened in a single day. The plot is that an evil wight is trying to destroy a time loop and eat the peculiar children so he could turn into a hollow ghast. It is quite scary. I would recommend it to young teenagers.

This book was rubbish in my opinion. But then again, I did give up only halfway through. It was old fashioned, boring, and didn't make much sense to me. I do not recommend this, but the film version is good.

This book is quite challenging to read, but with some help it was a good story, full of weird and wonderful secrets and people. Enoch is my favourite character because he can take life from one animal and give it to an inanimate object like a clay soldier - told you the story was strange. I would recommend this book to others.

i've read this book so many times i love it so much! it is about a mysterious island, an abandoned orphanage, a strange collection of very curious photographs, and fairy tales coming true. i think i would recommend for anyone who loves mystery adventure, creepy stories and photographs. i would recommend for ages 9 and up as the photographs can be a little creepy at times

Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children is where a boy called Jacob Portman has a family tragedy. His grandfather used to tell him stories of this island and the peculiar children on it. Jacob grew up to not believe this but when a family tragedy strikes Jacob ends up going to the island and he discovers that his grandfathers stories are all true It has swear words in, long chapters and some scary parts in it

I would recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries and adventure stories. The plot captures you immensely ,though it is not the kind of book you would want to read again and again.
