具体描述

As a kid, Jacob formed a special bond with his grandfather over his bizarre tales and photos of levitating girls and invisible boys. Now at 16, he is reeling from the old man's unexpected death. Then Jacob is given a mysterious letter that propels him on a journey to the remote Welsh island where his grandfather grew up. There, he finds the children from the photographs--alive and well--despite the islanders’ assertion that all were killed decades ago. As Jacob begins to unravel more about his grandfather’s childhood, he suspects he is being trailed by a monster only he can see. A haunting and out-of-the-ordinary read, debut author Ransom Rigg’s first-person narration is convincing and absorbing, and every detail he draws our eye to is deftly woven into an unforgettable whole. Interspersed with photos throughout, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a truly atmospheric novel with plot twists, turns, and surprises that will delight readers of any age.

作者简介

Hi, I'm Ransom, and I like to tell stories. Sometimes I tell them with words, sometimes with pictures, often with both. I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. I started writing stories when I was young, on an old typewriter that jammed and longhand on legal pads. When I was a little older I got a camera for Christmas and became obsessed with photography, and when I was a little older still my friends and I came into possession of a half-broken video camera and began to make our own movies, starring ourselves, using our bedrooms and backyards for sets. I have loved writing stories and taking photographs and making movies ever since, and have endeavored to do all three.

在每一天的平淡生活中，每个人不免会幻象着惊险、刺激、神奇的故事情节，所以《哈利波特》、《X战警》、《生化危机》等等大行其道，个人也非常热爱这些系列，因为在真实的生活中也许就潜藏着未知的危险，而《怪屋女孩》无疑为我们掀开了这个世界的另一幅面孔，神秘、离奇，又充...

用户评价

情节推进的太慢了，不得不耐着性子往下看。关于普通少年发现自己异能的这种故事，珠玉太多，而读这一系列，我所有阅读热情都被主人公没完没了的心理活动和平淡无奇的情节中消耗了……

前半部分半信半疑。后半部分没啥意思。我还是去补全安德游戏四部曲吧。

读完了，电影院对原著还是有点改编的

我觉得这本很棒！！！大概我就是好这一口，还超出我期待，为了保留悬念电影都没看????中英加audiobook 并且算是断断续续看的跨了几个月，主要是为了练习听力，这都没有削减它的精彩程度，真的很喜欢，就算逻辑有漏洞有些情节好猜

Good story but I don't know it has series. It filled with love, magic, bad people and the good. Ordinary people might be extraordinary.
