I like weird books so that worked out well for me but I am not sure that this will be the right book for every reader. I had similar questions about some of the other family members and Arthur who was more of a family friend. I wanted to know why Eleanor left the family to go to school in the first place but the big mystery for me was finding out what Eleanor was and what she could do. I liked her but I wanted to know more than I felt like she was sharing.

I immediately had so many questions that I needed answers to which kept me turning the pages as fast as I could.The book is told from Eleanor's point of view. Her grandfather and several other members of the family turn into wolves and her mother spends most of her time in a tub. It becomes immediately apparent that Eleanor's family isn't your normal family. Once I started reading this book, I was hooked and ended up having a fantastic time with it.Eleanor goes back home to her family after being away at school at the start of the story. The story sounded promising so I was eager to give it a try. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to read this book was the fabulous cover. I enjoyed this book quite a bit! I marked this book as currently reading weeks ago but it really only took me a few days to read it once I had time to sit down with it. If any of them are to survive, Eleanor must embrace her strange family and confront the monstrousness lurking deep within her Grandmere – and herself. Grandmere brings order to the chaotic household, but that order soon turns to tyranny.

But a strange and sudden death rocks the family, and in order to keep the family that abandoned her from falling apart, Eleanor calls upon her mysterious other grandmother from across the sea. When Eleanor finally returns to their ancestral home on the rainy coast of Maine, she finds them already gathered in wait, seemingly ready to welcome her back with open arms. She knows them only as vague memories: her grandfather's tremendous fanged snout, the barrel full of water her mother always soaked in, and strange hunting trips in a dark wood with her sister and cousins.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children meets The Addams Family in this haunting story of one girl's attempt to reconnect with her monstrous family.Įleanor has not seen or spoken with her family in years, not since they sent her away to Saint Brigid's boarding school.
