Publisher's Summary
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.

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.

Terrible Accents
This is a good book and I've read it before but the narrators awful accents make it hard to listen to. It's a pity.

A Fun Ride!
Overall, I really liked this book! I had a great time. The only downside is the narrator. I love the one from the next few books.

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.

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 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.
