Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Review

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
by: Ransom Riggs
Pages: 352

Hello, it’s Meagan and today I’m gonna be reviewing Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs; a book about children, monsters, and photographs…

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And 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 who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason.

And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive. –goodreads.com summery

First let me say I’m sorry for anyone who recommended this book… I kept putting it off because I never thought I’d like it… boy was I wrong… once Jacob got to the island I fell in love with this book, and the characters! Jacob was a fairly good protagonist. He didn’t annoy me, he was smart, ect…

Then there is Emma… from the moment you first saw her, I knew she was gonna be my favorite character. She was sweet, nice, and I REALLY felt bad for her when she found out what happened to Jacob’s grandfather, plus she’s a firebender automatically making her awesome!

Then the end… all I can say is Whoa! Didn’t see that coming! I would say more, but I wanna keep this as spoiler free as possible…

Overall it was an amazing book! I give it a 100% and you should go read it if you haven’t already!

If you have read the book… What did you think? Did you go into this book knowing what to expect, or kinda blindly like me? Do you ship Emma and Jacob… or is that kinda weird? Comment below and we can discuss!

That’s all for now… 

BYE!!!

The Madness Underneath Review

The Madness Underneath
by Maureen Johnson
pages- 290

Hey it’s Meagan and today I will be reviewing The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson; an awesome book about London, mystery, and ghosts…

***DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE 1^ST BOOK, THE NAME OF THE STAR, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE 1^ST BOOK! ***

After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she’s become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city’s secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it’s too late.- goodreads.com summery

First I give this book a 90%, it was good, interesting, and kept me reading just like the 1^st book.

One of my only problems with the book was that it was kind of predictable. I knew things WAY before Rory did, and that kind of annoyed me.

Now let me say one thing, I don’t know what I’d do if Stephen, Boo, and Callum, were not in this book; they are hands down my favorite characters from the series! Even when I thought Stephen was overreacting about something (which I though was about 80% of the scenes he was in) he was still my favorite character!

And then the end happened… 15 PAGES!  Maureen Johnson couldn’t let me have 15 PAGES of peace and happiness! NOPE! Something tragic had to happen!

Anyway, overall I really liked this book. It was interesting and kept me reading! If you have read the Name of the Star, but haven’t picked up The Madness Underneath yet, do it, it’s worth it.

If you have read it… what did you think about it? Who were you’re favorite characters? And what did you think of the end? Comment below so we can discuss!

That’s it from me…

BYE!!!

Hey, it's "Mom".  I've started reading a new book "A Land More Kind than Home".  So far so good.  I wish I could read at night without falling asleep!  I don't finish books nearly as fast as Meagan.  I think she's read two books since we started this blog last week :).  So.... ask her why she hasn't posted a book review yet!?!?

Hey, from Meagan!

Hey, it’s Meagan! I am 13 years old and LOVE to read! I will be reviewing Young Adult Fiction books on here. The main genres I read are SCI-FI, Fantasy, Paranormal, and Dystopian. Other than book reviews you can also expect synopsis and cover reveals from me! Last, this year I plan on reading 50 books; I will update you on that monthly. That’s it for me… BYE!
