Book of the Day
In January 1988 Martin Pistorius, aged twelve, fell inexplicably sick. First he lost his voice and stopped eating. Then he slept constantly and shunned human contact. Doctors were mystified. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. They all thought he was gone. But he was alive and trapped inside his own body for ten years…
A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. But the children once there were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. And somehow – impossible though it seems – they may still be alive.
