Hi, this is Betsy from Otto's. They call it a YA (Young Adult) title, but Nancy, Alissa and I all enjoyed Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by first time novelist, Ransom Riggs. Jacob, a sixteen-year-old living in Florida, loved his grandfather who told him fantastic stories and, just before he died, entrusted him with a message; "Go to the island. Find the bird. In the loop. On the other side of the old man's grave. September 3, 1940." Jacob is baffled. What was his grandfather talking about? And then came the nightmares filled with many-tongued monsters! Inside a book his grandfather had left him, he finds an old letter addressed to his grandfather, with a postmark of Cairn Island, Wales. Could that be the island? With his psychiatrist's backing, he and his father set out. What they find can scarcely be believed...unless you're under the spell of a master storyteller. Vintage photos add to the spell. Miss Peregrine's Home fro Peculiar Children. You'll find it at Otto's, a booklover's paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport.
