Reddit reviews Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)

Hey, OP! High school English teacher/book nerd here. Hopefully I can help you find a book that you enjoy! I reviewed your criteria, and the only thing I would like you to reconsider is the length. I know, I know, typical English teacher trying to get you to read more, but I promise you if us Redditors can find you a book you LOVE, then you won't want to put it down! I've read the following list, and think they fit your list for the most part (especially the suitable for a 13-year-old young man, this is essential for my job every day!)

Here's some young adult books that fall into the horror (read: horror, supernatural, psychological thriller, etc) or realistic fiction.


The Replacements: Mackie is not one of us. Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, he comes from a world of tunnels and black murky water, a world of living dead girls ruled by a little tattooed princess. He is a Replacement — left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago. Now, because of fatal allergies to iron, blood, and consecrated ground, Mackie is slowly dying in the human world.


Asylum: Super creepy, twisting plot line, male protagonist, definitely a great read all around.


Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BOOK ON THIS LIST A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. If you like this book, definitely read Asylum; I found those two went well together.

Unwind: This is a dystopian (realistic fiction) novel that we teach in 7th grade in my school district. Our students LOVE it, and the good news is that it is a series! We do require mom and dad to sign off before they read (and have never had any complaints...), but check with your parents before you delve into this one!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

I don't usually brag about myself, but my family always has. I'm smart, apparently. I don't think so though. I'm not stupid by any means, but I'm not "smart," as people are led to believe; I use common sense to figure out problems, and somehow manage to remember what I need for school without studying.

I'd really like a gift card, if that's okay. I'm saving up for stuff. If not, this book looks neat.

Yay!

Recently got back into reading after a looooonnnnnnggggg dry spell (years) and I'm reading some fun ones!

If I won I would love either this skirt or this book!

Merry Fridaymas!

I was going to enter earlier which if I did I would say how yesterday my exciting plans were going on a wine trail with my SO. It was very fun, despite dying in the end LOL. If that doesn't count then I don't really have anything exciting planned for this upcoming weekend 'cause all that's planned is work.

/u/MisterMagellan you have such a lovely smile & eyes! <3

My Friday is pretty packed with cleaning and organizing my house. It's going on the market in 8 days and we need to get it in order in time.

I have been looking forward to reading this book from my $5-10 WL.

TGIF

I would love to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

I think it's because I'm constantly being told what a weird and unusual child I was, and that my youngest son has taken after me. I'd love to be able to levitate or be invisible.

Dreamwalker

These suggestions all fit the category of 1. hard to put down. 2. simple reads

They are also more on the fantasy side of the spectrum.

Highly recommend:

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children All three books in the trilogy are great. Maybe stay away from the movie...

The Night Circus

The Hunger Games trilogy Yes, I'm sure you've seen the movies, but the books will add another level.

My dad is from the Netherlands and all of my friends call me dutchie. Birthday is July 27. Afraid it's not that interesting of a story, lol, but it's mine.

This is one I wanted to do since my freshman year of high school (currently a senior). A teacher at my school breeds tarantulas and has them in one of those glass trophy cases outside their room. So I always wanted to break into the case after school, take all of them out their cages, leaving the cages and case open, and take them to my house. Next day MASS HYSTERIA! Everyone running around, panicking looking for them, while they are safe in my house.

[$10 or less] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594746036/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2VPWR63H4D2I0&coliid=I11WI9T81YEOQM)
