What this book is about
Jacob Portman grew up hearing his grandfather's fantastic stories about peculiar children with unusual abilities and the headmistress who protected them. He thought they were fairy tales until his grandfather dies under strange circumstances. Jacob travels to a Welsh island and discovers the children are real—living in a time loop, hidden from creatures that hunt them. Miss Peregrine's Home is the first of three novels, told with vintage photographs incorporated as story illustrations.
