Review:
"[These tales] embody gentle, empowering messages: accept yourself and others; celebrate difference and oddity; never lose your sense of wonder." --Financial Times "With a Victorian style for writing and a capacity for subtle humor, the tales read as cautionary fables, rich with peril and phantasy, and will be enjoyed by teens and adults alike." --GeekDad.com Praise for the bestselling Miss Peregrine's series: "A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story." --John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska "Readers searching for the next Harry Potter may want to visit Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." --CNN "With its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it's no wonder Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox. B+" --Entertainment Weekly "'Peculiar' doesn't even begin to cover it. Riggs' chilling, wondrous novel is already headed to the movies."--People "[A] thrilling, Tim Burton-esque tale with haunting photographs."--USA Today Pop Candy
