Jacob immerses himself in the world of his grandfather and ( spoiler) realizes he is peculiar too.
MS PECULIAR SERIES
After another series of events he finds them and finds himself in front of the house his grandfather had always described. Jacob does his best to follow them but loses them. The kids, realizing it’s Jacob and not Abe, run away. A small sign that perhaps the magic that Jacob believed in as a kid actually exists. This was all after chapter one so I had even forgotten that the beginning had any color at all. He is looking at the wreckage that is the house when all of a sudden, as readers, we see a hint of color again. While he is there he eventually hunts down the house where Abe lived before becoming a soldier in WWII. He is forced to see a psychologist and through a series of events goes to the town where his grandfather was a kid. Then he sees a monster and his world is turned upside down. With his time winding down he leaves Jacob a peculiar riddle that he is unable to make sense of. Only he isn’t there, he has left the place in shambles and Jacob follows the path to find Abe dying. He has grown somewhat apart from his grandfather in the interim years, but as we enter the story anew he is dropping in on his grandfather. Jacob has grown to realize the stories his grandfather Abe told him as a kid were lies. It gives the lingering feeling that the character is still feeling after seeing the monster.

For instance in this one the monster’s tongue leaves the first pane to drape over the second in one spot and free fall to the third in another. I really enjoyed the old photos included in the book and Ransom Riggs’s descriptive and mysterious writing style.I like about graphic novels is how the pictures exceed their frames. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is one of the most original fantasy books out there. I am not a fan of info dump and I liked the way this book is more mysterious as the information comes gradually. What I found interesting about the way Ransom Riggs writes is the fact that he doesn’t reveal too much and waits to share important details until a specific moment where there is a massive plot twist. He writes so descriptively and as a reader, I actually became immersed in the story. Ransom Riggs has such an amazing writing style. I loved the idea of including images so much and I wish there was more of it, honestly. The pictures really helped me visualize the story more and I felt like I had a better understanding of what was going on. It was really interesting to be able to read a scene and then turn the page to see an image of a character, for instance. I really enjoyed the old photos scattered throughout the book. I don’t want to say too much about it because of spoilers, but the way time travel is included is so different than any other time travel book I’ve read. What I enjoyed even more was the fact that there’s a bit of time travel incorporated into the book. I loved getting to know each of the children and reading about Jacob’s encounters with each of them. For example, one of them is invisible and another has super strength. This book has such an original concept! Basically, a boy finds and old children’s home filled with people who each have strange abilities.
