Young Adult
Though the definiton of a “young adult book” is somewhat up for debate, for the purposes of this page we are defining it as books suitable for children ages 12-18 and beyond, especially those told from the perspective of characters the same age. From the most delightfully cheesy and cliche stories to the most creative and original, YA, at its best, embraces everything that we love about books. Revist an old favorite from your youth or discover something new, no matter your age.
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Published by Quirk Books in 2011, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children follows sixteen-year-old Jacob Portman as he journeys from a sleepy Florida suburb to a remote island off the coast of Wales. There he stumbles upon the ruins of Miss Peregrine’s orphanage and discovers the shocking fate of the children who lived there long ago–and may live there still.
Miss Peregrine was followed by two best-selling sequels, Hollow City and Library of Souls. All three novels are illustrated with dozens of vintage found photographs.
