Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel | Ransom Riggs
When Jacob Portman was a boy, his grandfather regaled him with stories of his fantastic life at Miss Peregrine's home during the Second World War, even sharing photos of the remarkable children with whom he resided. As Jacob grew up, though, he decided that these photos were obvious fakes, simple forgeries designed to stir up his youthful imagination. Or were they...? Following his grandfather's death - a scene Jacob literally couldn't believe with his own eyes - the sixteen-year-old boy embarks on a mission to disentangle fact from fiction in his grandfather's tall tales. But even his grandfather's elaborate yarns couldn't prepare Jacob for the eccentricities he will discover at Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children!

I started this graphic novel version of Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children last night. I never considered checking Prime and Kindle Unlimited before for graphic novels until last night. I was excited there were several that's been on my TBR list.

I was surprised with this one! I loved the graphic novel version of this book much better than the original, though I didn't think that that was possible! The artwork is amazing and brings even more depth to this already engaging story-line. Wonderful!

I would generally recommend this for high school and up, given the themes; although some advanced 8th-grade readers could reasonably get into this!

hermyknee Hey! Did the package I sent you ever arrive? It should have arrived last week. 6y
Saknicole @hermyknee yes! Got it right before I left home for my parents in a different town and decided to save the fun! When I'm back home I can't wait to open it! 6y
hermyknee @Saknicole hooray! Happy Holidays! 6y

I love the whole idea of this story. I've read the original novels as well.
The artwork isn't my style, but it is good and the old pictures are incorporated. You really couldn't have a Miss Peregrine book of any kind with out those pictures.

Anyone else get irrationally angry when this happens to #bookmail ? #betterpackagingneeded #booksareprecious

Rachbb3 Yes. Very frustrated. 8y
Sace 😨 That's awful. I've been known to leave some ranty packaging feedback. 8y
GypsyKat Yes, but I don't consider it irrational. 😡 8y

OrangeMooseReads @Sace I believe I will be doing that. All of the packaging was deflated. 8y
BookwormBeth It's not irrational at all. I would be very angry 8y

Großartige Comic-Adaption der Romanvorlage. Gute Zusammenfassung und tolle Zeichnungen. Freue mich auf Band 2 und den Film zu Band 1.
Auf Deutsch bei Carlsen erschienen, aber leider nicht hier in der Datenbank.

Pippilotta Ich freue mich auch schon so sehr auf den film! 8y

Here's my Tortie Mogwai posing beautifully on top of the book. I think she really just wants attention. They get jealous of me taking pics of one another and then come cozy up to me. She is still giving me that - put the phone down and pet me look with her ears slanted and her nose up, but she knew what this was; just a prop to display my treasured books, lol j/k ( mostly) this book is really in demand now that the movie is coming out! 😎😍📚😻🎬

LauraBeth She's a beauty 😺 8y
Mimi28 @LauraBeth thanks! She can be a little trouble- maker she attacks 17 year old Nikie sometimes, but then sometimes they still cuddle so??? I think it's like an oldest/ youngest sister sibling rivalry thing, lol 🙄🤔😼 8y

Uh oh! I haven't even touched the peculiar children graphic novel and another patron has requested it due Monday! Sooooo...I declare this "Graphic Novel Weekend!" So by Monday I will have read 3 books (technically.) This is my little Tortie troublemaker Mogwai. She keeps things interesting in the house ?she's 9 too. She was cute and weird looking when I got her, so that's why I named her the other name for Gremlin. ( My fav movie) ???????

Zelma She's adorable! 😻 and Nimona is super fun. 8y
Mimi28 @Zelma Thanks! 😄 8y

I didn't like this graphic novel at first. I had really high hopes for it since this is one of my favorite book series. I thought the artwork looked rushed and sketchy (literally). However, after a few pages I started to like the simple style. Once Jacob entered the loop, I was officially in love with it! Highly recommended if you have read the book.

Gave my teens an option between novel and graphic novel for the book club. I thought a lot got lost in the new format. Most weirdly, considering the visual format, the photos were way less effective. Did love the use of color though.

SeanEasley Yeah, I felt the same way. The pics just didn't have that same magic. 9y
