Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a 2011 contemporary fantasy debut novel by American author Ransom Riggs. The story is told through a combination of narrative and a mix of vernacular and found photography from the personal archives of collectors listed by the author.
Parents need to know that director Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is based on the first book in Ransom Riggs' spine-tingling, best-selling gothic trilogy. It definitely shares some of the book's complex content and themes, including death and the yearning to belong.

In the novels, Alma La Fay Peregrine, AKA “the Bird,” is the headmistress of the school for peculiar children. She is described as being a dowdy, middle-aged woman who wears all black and dresses like a Victorian spinster. She is also a Ymbryne, a particular type of peculiar that can transform into a bird (in her case, a peregrine) and control time...
Do those big blue eyes seem familiar? Asa Butterfield is best-known for playing the child lead in 2008’sThe Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, for which he received nominations for British Independent Film Award and the London Film Critics Circle Award for Young British Performer of the Year. Since then he has popped up in a range of movies and TV shows, ...
Eva Green isn’t the only feminine force to be reckoned with in the film adaption. 20th Century Fox released a new featurette last month titled Fierce Females, focusing on the female characters and their individual powers. Or as Burton put it in the new clip: “There are a lot of strong, very mysterious [females].” That’s just how we like it! On her ...
The film was originally meant to be released on September 3rd 2016. This was to coincide with what is “Loop Day” in the book, but it has been pushed back until September 30th. A clip was released on September 3rd to explain the concept of Loop Day to those who have not read the series. Basically, a time-loop, or “loop” for short, is when a ymbryne ...
In the novels, Emma Bloom is one of the peculiars, and the love interest of our protagonist Jacob. Although she has the outward appearance of a teenager, in reality she is 88-years-old, and hasn’t aged since the 1940s due to living in the “loop” with the other children. She likes her home, but is also bored with living the same day on repeat. In th...
In the book, Emma is described as a “spark,” someone who possesses the ability to create fire at will. In the novels this skill is a huge part of the narrative, with her gift often getting her and her sort-of boyfriend Jacob out of trouble. However, in the film her abilities have been drastically altered. Instead, she is aerokinetic (can float or l...
Another pretty big change from book to movie is the characters’ ages. Although in the novel most of the peculiars exact ages are not specified, it is still easy to see that some of their birthdays and appearances differ from on the page. For instance, in the book, Fiona is described as a wild-looking young adult who absconds shoes and possesses the...
In the novel, Dr. Golan is Jacob’s psychiatrist and a wight in disguise; he’s also a man. In the film version, the role is played by Allison Janney, so we’re guessing they decided to swap genders for the movie. It’s a change we’re happy has been made if it means getting Janney on board. The actress is a six-time Emmy award winner who has starred in...
Samuel L. Jackson has taken on the role of Mr. Barron, an entirely new character created for the movie (although the name is taken from one of Dr. Golan’s many aliases in the novel). The new big bad, Mr. Barron, is leader of the wights, who are the series’ main antagonists in both the book and film. Masters of disguise, the wights spend their time ...
Multi-award winning actress Judi Dench is playing Miss Avocet, Miss Peregrine’s close friend, former tutor and fellow protector of peculiar children. In the novel, the character is described as “close to royalty as we peculiars have” and, like Miss Peregrine, she is a Ymbryne, with the ability to control time and turn into an avocet bird. She and a...
Jun 7, 2011 · 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.

Jacob soon discovers why: it’s on the very edge of the island past a dangerous bog, it’s half-destroyed, and it’s largely overrun by nature. He learns that a bomb was dropped on the home during World War II, but this confuses Jacob because the letter from Miss Peregrine is only 15 years old.
