Review

I recall my first few “encounters” with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. The cover haunted me every time I went to the bookstore. I wanted to know the backstory of the girl levitating off the ground. After reading the first book – my love affair for Miss Peregrine began. If you look at my Miss Peregrine’s collection – you know that the love is real.
