Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel

This graphic novel adapts Ransom Riggs' bestselling fantasy novel, following 16-year-old Jacob Portman. After his grandfather's mysterious and violent death, Jacob is plagued by nightmares and seeks therapy. His psychiatrist suggests a trip to a remote Welsh island, where his grandfather claimed to have lived in an orphanage for "peculiar" children during WWII. What Jacob discovers is a hidden world, a time loop, and children with incredible, often strange, abilities, all protected by their headmistress, Miss Peregrine. But this world is also hunted by terrifying, invisible monsters called hollowgast and their human-like counterparts, wights. The story explores themes of grief, identity, bravery, and belonging, wrapped in a suspenseful adventure. Parents should be aware of some dark themes, including character death, scary monsters, and peril, which are visually depicted in the graphic novel format. It's suitable for middle schoolers and up, or mature late elementary readers.
