“Boy, can Ransom Riggs tell a story. If he’d been stuck in rainy 1818 Switzerland with Lord Byron, and Mary and Percy Shelley and taken up Byron’s challenge to write a ghost story, Miss Peregrine would have given Frankenstein a run for its money.” —NPR.org
 
“A visually rich literary experience.” —New York Times Book Review
 
“[A] chilling, wondrous novel.” —People
 
“[A] thrilling, Tim Burton–esque tale with haunting photographs.” —USA Today
