Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom RiggsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is, by far, one of the most unusual and creative books I've read in a long time. It was a novel, but one that made great use of unique photographs as part of the narrative. I thought I'd hate that but I didn't. The story is about a young boy who is very close to his odd grandfather. When his grandfather dies, the boy is left a quest to understand his last words. This takes him to an island where he finds an orphanage that isn't quite as abandoned and closed as most people think. To share more would be to ruin the delight of the book, but it is a lovely coming-of-age story set in a fantasy.
