MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

 

The first and last stories in the trilogy. The middle book is called Hollow City which I don't own but which is available at the library.

 

Here's the good news.

 

 

They've made a film with the gorgeous Eva Green. I'll be in to see this as soon as I get a chance. The stories are labelled Young Teen, Young Adult but there is sufficient appeal for older people like myself. Well-crafted, this is really a quest story made original by the aforementioned Peculiar Children and their peculiarities. I have to believe that Ransom Riggs has a mind bent in the direction of the gothic. Highly recommended.
