Somaya's Book of the Month: April 2014

I know, I know. I haven't posted in like 2 months. And I am really, truly sorry. I've just been drowned with school, and honestly I procrastinated. Here is some ice cream to show how truly sorry I am.
Anyways, this book of the month is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It's by Ransom Riggs. This book will give you goosebumps while reading it. It actually has stunning photos relating to the story. So let's start with the summary.

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 mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-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.

In my opinion, this book is good for adults, teens or anyone willing to go on an amazing adventure. It is a fantasy book. I've fell in love with this book a lot. In fact, there is a sequel! It actually came out recently. I will do a book review when I finish it. Now, I advise you to read this book. It is filled with mystery, love and miracles. What are you waiting for?  Go put this book on hold! XD
