MRS.PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

THERE MAY BE SPOILERS SO SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I finished this book over the vacation, and it was okay. I mean there were pretty picture (more like black and white photos of the past which was a pretty cool affect) and the story line was original. But I wasn't a big fan of the ending. The book starts with a boy named Jacob, and when he was younger his grand-father told him story's about his childhood. Where he became an orphan and went to live in this island where kids with magical powers lived. And it turns out he lived during world war 2, so him being an orphan was true but the stories were fake but he couldn't solve the pictures. Then he's 16 and his grand-father dies and the monsters killed him but no one can see the monsters and he's crazy. And he goes off to the island and finds out the children are real and the monsters try to kill him. But they beat the bad guys and live happily ever after! YAY! Oh and his power is to see the monsters so... yeah.

I didn't really like the ending it was so happy, the children aren't killed by the monsters and he lives with them. But I guess this book is about family and stuff. How I guess you should believe what your family is saying, or most of it. Because of Jacob just believed his grand dad he'd still be alive. But then his parents wouldn't believe him and he was sent to a shrink because he was "crazy". But he wasn't he was just telling the truth but no one believed in him.


And even if family can be crazy at times you should believe them because they might be telling the truth. And not only with family its with friends. Because his friend thought he was crazy so he stopped hanging out with him and they stopped being friends. Or that your family might not always be the people who gave birth to you. Jacob had a special power and his father didn't because it skipped a generation. Jacob and his grand-father were able to see the monsters. And he couldn't connect with his family because they weren't peculiar. So when he found the house for peculiar children it was better if just stayed with them because they were his new family because they were like related and Jacob ending up living happily ever after with his new family.
