MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN
What is the reason is chose ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’?
I chose this book because I have already red
the Dutch versions.
I enjoyed reading this book. It is a exciting
fiction. The personages are weird and funny.
The main character is Jacob Portman.
The book exercise I chose is option 1:

Jacob Portman, he is the m ain character in this book. He is a sixteen years old boy who
lives in America. When Jacob was a little boy his grandfather always told him stories
about an island with an orphan house with peculiar children. Jacob was sad, he was

has. He decided to take a look at his house. By time he got there, his grandpa was on the

him that he needs to go to the island to tell the people in the house what happened.
