Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a 2011 novel by Ransom Riggs. It follows the story of Jacob Portman, a young boy who discovers a mysterious orphanage on a remote island, home to children with peculiar abilities. These children, including Emma (who can control fire) and Millard (who is invisible), are under the protection of Miss Peregrine, a shape-shifting woman who can turn into a peregrine falcon.
Jacob soon learns that his grandfather's strange stories about these children are not just fairy tales but reality. As the story unfolds, Jacob discovers a hidden world of time loops, danger, and dark forces that threaten the peculiar children and their home.
The novel blends elements of fantasy, adventure, and horror, using vintage photographs throughout the story to enhance its eerie, atmospheric tone. It became a bestseller and was followed by several sequels. The book was adapted into a film by Tim Burton in 2016.
