So I am also in a Best Sellers class and my teacher showed our class a book trailer for this book. I liked the trailer so I thought it looked like a good book. I couldnt decide between this book and
Room. But since I have to read an independent novel in this class and best sellers I am going to read both. So far all I know is that this is in the perspective of a person that is talking about hearing stories from his/her grandpa. She/He is saying that her grandpa loved to tell tall tlaes and as she/he got older she/he realized that they couldnt be true. But she/he started to believe him again when he showed her/him picture of "peculiar children". These children were invisible, they had super strength and one could even levitate.
The author of
Miss Perigrine's Home For Peculiar Children is Ransom Riggs. Ransom Riggs was born on a very old farm in Maryland. He grew up in Flordia and attended gifted schools. He studied film and wrote
The Sherlock Holmes Handbook. This book was tied to the Sherlock Holmes movie that came out in 2009. After this he starred on the New York Times Best sellers list and became very popular. He then wrote
Miss Perigrine's Home For Peculiar Children which also made to the Best Sellers list.
