2 Plot Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children tells the story of a community of children with exceptional powers (pyrocinesi, the ability to grow plants, to be lighter than air, to revive the dead, to have prophetic dreams, to become invisible, etc.), who live in a loop or timeline in which they are always young. It is mainly based on the life of this boy who was devastated by his grandfather's death, to which he was particularly close to, Abe, who raised him by telling him stories of monsters and special creatures he met. After finding a postcard addressed to the grandfather from Cairnholm, Wales, and signed by Miss Alma Peregrine, the mysterious director of the house of special children, Jake decides to travel to the small British island. Once in Cairnholm, Jake finds out that the house of specialists exists, but is now reduced to ruin. There he is greeted by the special children of Miss Peregrine. The specials lead Jake to a cave that is the entrance to their time ring and, once crossed, Jake finds himself immersed in 1943.

3 This loop has a fundamental role, that is to prevented the persecution of specials and allows them to live safely. For it is important that the ring is repeatedly reset every day, or they will return to live in the previous era and age normally. In the case of Miss Peregrine, the time ring was created as a matter of urgency to allow the survival of the children and is in fact fixed on September 3, 1943, just before the pilot drops a bomb on the house. Later Jake discovers he is a special too because he manages to cross the time ring and, just like his grandfather Abe, his ability is to see the monstrous creatures invisible to everyone: the Vacui,monstrous creatures who feed on childrens power (and graphically their eyes)and threatened the serene existence of the children and the rings. Jake will have to fight against these monsters whit the help of the children. At the end of the story they manage to defeat the Vacui and together they leave for other fantastic journeys.

10 The novel and real picture Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children Is a 2016 film directed by Tim Burton and is a film adaptation of the novel Miss Peregrine's special children's home from 2011 written by Ransom Riggs. Miss Peregrine's special children's home (original title Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) is a fantasy novel, the first in the Miss Peregrine series, by the American writer Ransom Riggs. It tells the story of a boy who, following a terrible family tragedy, follows the clues that lead him to a house of abandoned children on a Welsh island. The story is told through a combination of fiction and vernacular photography taken from the personal archives of the collectors listed by the author.

11 This book for young adults was originally thought of as a book of images reproducing photographs that Riggs had collected, but at the suggestion of the publisher, Quirk Books, the writer used the photographs as a trace for the writing of the book. Riggs was a photo collector, but he needed something more for his novel. He met Leonard Lightfoot, a well-known Pasadena collector who introduced him to other collectors. The result was a story of a boy following clues from old photographs of his grandfather, who will take him to a large abandoned orphanage on a Welsh island.
