Description

A mysterious island. 

An abandoned orphanage. 

A strange collection of very curious photographs. 

It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that makes for a thrilling listening experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets 16-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive. 

A spine-tingling fantasy, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Difference a Narrator Makes

I know this series is quite popular and I admit I would probably rate this first book a lot higher had I read it rather than listened to it. It’s hard to express just how annoying and inept the narration was. I still sincerely hope that Jesse Bernstein never attempts to perform an English accent again in his life. In fact, although the character of the narrator is American, the whole thing would better have been presented by an English or Welsh performer. The only reason I skipped and struggled through to the end was in order to go on to the next book. Recommendation: read, don’t listen!

Good concept and story

I first came across this author and story because of the movie. much of the book is a lot like the movie except for a few Minor details which do not take away from the quality of the story. however, I do think that I prefer the ending crafted for the film better, despite this similarities to this book.

A fabulous written book!

This book was a great listen! It was surprising to learn the movie was not far off from the book however ending if the was far more in depth than the movie and far better in my opinion. Although the narrator, was not always on top of accents; he made the characters come alive and made very enjoyable to listen. I highly would recommend this book and I cant wait to start listening to the second book in the series.

Um

The story is fantastic, I've read the books myself and they're very engaging but oh my god, the narrator's attempt at accents in this are effing horrible, they're really distracting, sound nothing like an accent from Whales and really take away from the whole thing. The whole time all I could think was, "When is this going to be finished so I can start the next one with a different narrator."

Great listen

So good to hear the book being read but I do wish that a British person had read the book as the British accent was terrible.

Interesting story but...

I really enjoyed the American portrayals, they as they were well voiced. However, I’m sorry Jesse, but those were the worst english accents that I have ever heard, and it really took away and distracted me from the plot. Keep trying.

Great story, bad accents

It’s a solid story well written. The narration is fine until it comes to accents, and there are a lot of accents. Some were jarring enough to distract from the story.
