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 Peregrines 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 a good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive. (shelfari)

The link to Harry Potter sounds intriguing...
I haven't read this one, and I've been put off reading it by the impression that it's more style than substance. Would you say that's true?
It was indeed more YA than I was expecting so I just went where the story took me and enjoyed it from that perspective. I don't know if that helps with your decision to read it or not?
Sounds creepy but nice!
I hope I get a chance to read this one sometime. I do like the sound of this one.
It does have a good and creepy angle to it. It would make a fun Halloween read.
Yes, I kind of waited until the mood struck for something otherworldly. Hopefully you'll get the chance to read it too.
