Miss Peregrine’s Museum of Wonders

Miss Peregrine’s Museum of Wonders by: Ransom Riggs: A very odd, yet curious companion novel to Riggs’ Peculiar Children series. This book transported readers back into this world once more for background information and details never shared before. Reading like a guide for new arrivals in the peculiar world, from learning about famous peculiar children, the evils that they run from, the loops that they live in and how to act like a normal, when they very much aren’t, was a lot of fun to read. The way Riggs set the photos with his writing was so captivating and believable, that he has his readers on their toes wanting to conceive that what he’s written is fact and not fiction. This was so fast-paced, too. It was so easy to get lost in the words and the stories. Not only were the photos a great complement to the stories, but there were some illustrations that made this so beautiful to look at. For the most part, the reader enjoyed reading all of the chapters and thought they were told in a great order; the only thing this reader didn’t really care for was the addition of the peculiar language that is apparently spoken by peculiar children. This reader doesn’t remember them ever having a language so it felt like that section came out of left field. Otherwise, this was a really well put together book, full of wonders and fascinations. This is definitely for readers who adored the series; this was a great way to be back without doing a complete re-read of all the books.

    1. Oh I really think it was! I highly recommend it if you loved the series and want to dip your toes back in. Riggs; is so good at pairing photos with his words, he’s really good at convincing you it’s real! Thank you!
