{Review} Peculiar Children Graphic Novel by @ransomriggs {Giveaway} @quirkbooks

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic NovelRansom Riggs's haunting fantasy bestseller adapted to a graphic novel! 
As our story opens, 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. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive.

A very interesting concept.  A lot of books are being turned into Graphic Novels and I love the idea.  My one daughter will read anything that is Graphic Novel.  She sucks them up and spits them out in about 30 minutes.  And this one was no different.  As soon as it came she stoled it and it was great!

This book two just blew me away!  It was even better than book one with even creepier/spookier pictures.  And don't worry folks each picture ties into the book just wonderfully.  And although the little girl on the from is missing something. This book is deff not missing anything!  It was a creepy continuation of book one and I so can't wait for more!
