Next Read: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Juliana Discher Bell 5

          The book that I am ecstatic to read next is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I have heard multiple great reviews of this book. My seventh grade language arts teacher and several people in my class have read it.
          The title picture is intriguing to me. There is an eerie black and white forest scene with the ghostly girl levitating. The font also adds a sense of mystery to the book; the way "PECULIAR CHILDREN" is written in scraggly font.
          Vintage photographs are included in this book as well. I think this adds another level of sorts to the book. It makes the story seem more realistic and as if it actually occurred. Hopefully the Mason Public Library has a copy available, or a friend has one to lend because I am ready to dive into a good book while relaxing by the pool!
