" The stats: Miss Peregrine&amp;#039;s Home For Peculiar Children is the first novel for author Ransom Riggs, and hits bookstores June 7. The gist: Sixteen-year-old Jacob always knew his grandfather was a little kooky, but things take a turn for the unexpected on his death bed. His grandfather&amp;#039;s last words seem to be a clue left for Jacob to figure out. After months of having the same nightmare every night, Jacob decides to try and get some closure on the death. While sorting through his grandfather&amp;#039;s things, Jacob starts to put the pieces together\u2014especially when his family takes a vacation to the place where his grandfather grew up: a deserted island in the middle of the Atlantic, near Wales. Things get a little creepy over there, but we won&amp;#039;t spoil it for you. Our favorite part: Throughout the book there are printed black and white images of peculiar children, presumably those who lived in Miss Peregrine&amp;#039;s home. It adds a ton of spook, and makes the book come alive. You&amp;#039;ll love it if... you want a good thriller for the summer. It&amp;#039;s a mystery, and you&amp;#039;ll race to solve it before Jacob figures it out for himself. Psst! \u2013 You can get a free download of the prologue and chapters one and two!
