A horrific family tragedy sends sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of an old orphanage that was home to children who were more than just peculiar, but possibly dangerous--and who may still be alive. Illustrated with vintage found photographs.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Not my typical content, but it filled some roadtrip hours in audiobook form and was interesting enough. Other reviews suggest the photographs in the printed book are part of the reading experience here, which of course were missing for me. In fairness, the narrator did provide a URL to get them in PDF form, but that's not much use if you – like me – are the driver.
