About this listen

 A mysterious island.

An abandoned orphanage.

A strange collection of very curious photographs.

It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that makes for a thrilling listening experience. 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 spine-tingling fantasy, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.


Includes a bonus PDF of photographs and letters from the book Coming of Age Fantasy Horror Literature & Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Fiction Magic Paranormal

Would you consider the audio edition of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a good flowing story. And the characters were fun to read about

Have you listened to any of Jesse Bernstein’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No, but I think that his voice is similar to that of Matthew Broderick.... luckily, I like Matthew Broderick haha

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Spoilers :D

Any additional comments?

I read this in preparation for the movie that comes out in September. Unfortunately, it's going to be like every other book to movie.... book is always better.

Enjoyable Story

I found the narrator’s voice quite annoying, even more so with every mispronounced word.
The story is promising, but the author “hints” at things to come with a thud. I’m going to give the second book a go because I see there is a new narrator and I’m also hoping that the author has honed his story telling skills some more.

Woeful narration

Great first book in the series, really interesting story and characters.

The narrator was pretty average though and didn't pull off the accents that well, however it's worth persisting with since they get a new narrator for the rest of the series who is fantastic

Fantastic series

Fantastic tale
Fun and entertaining
Only draw back is the narrators performance

Voice is bearable once you get used to it but his accents are atrocious and very hard to listen to at points

Excellent story
