I have recently started reading the book miss peregrines home for peculiar children. It is actually turning out to be a good book despite what i previously thought. It has mystery and confusing parts and monsters, so it has kept my attention quite well. It starts out with the little boy Jacob telling how his grandfather used to tell him stories of his childhood involving monsters and a mysterious island that kept them safe. As Jacob gets older he believes less and less in the life he was told about, he begins crediting all the stories to what the doctors told his family was dementia. but when his grandfather calls him in a panic saying the monsters are after him Jacob goes to check on him and finds the house a mess. they follow the path of objects that have been thrown to the edge of the yard and the see a path going into the forest, Jacob goes in before his friend ca grab a flash light. He runs in looking for something, anything and that is when he finds the mangled body of his grandfather, he looks around to see the culprit and catches a glimpse of exactly the kind of monster his grandfather had described long ago. when he reports this to the police they dismiss it as crazy and he spends months seeing psychiatrists and being evaluated. his grandfathers final words ringing in his ears , an opportunity finally comes for him to visit the island he had heard of as a young child....... will this trip answer his questions? give him closure on the death of his grandfather?
