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. A
spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage
photography, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" will
delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the
shadows.
"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the
floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore "
-- from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
At once an homage to one of America's greatest writers and a
page-turning psychological mystery that is equal parts horror,
humor, and romance, NEVERMORE is the story of Varen -- a Poe-fan
and goth -- and Isobel -- a cheerleader and unlikely heroine. When
a Lit. project pairs the two together, Isobel finds herself
steadily swept into Varen's world, one that he has created in his
notebook and in his mind, one where the terrifying stories of Edgar
Allan Poe come to life. Isobel slowly learns that dreams can be
much more powerful than she'd ever expected, and that pain and
despair come in all shades. As labels of "goth" and "cheerleader"
fade away, she sees more in Varen than a tall, pale outcast, and a
consuming romance is braced against the ever-clearer horror that
the most terrifying realities are those within our own minds.
When Isobel has a single chance to rescue Varen from the shadows of
his own nightmares, will she be able to save him -- and herself?
