About this item

When Jacob Portman was a boy, his grandfather regaled him with stories of his fantastic life at Miss Peregrines home during the Second World War, even sharing photos of the remarkable children with whom he resided. As Jacob grew up, though, he decided that these photos were obvious fakes, simple forgeries designed to stir up his youthful imagination. Or were they...?Following his grandfathers death - a scene Jacob literally couldnt believe with his own eyes - the sixteen-year-old boy embarks on a mission to disentangle fact from fiction in his grandfathers tall tales. But even his grandfathers elaborate yarns couldnt prepare Jacob for the eccentricities he will discover at Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children!
