All Hallow's Read

Fall is in full swing and Halloween is only days away. It’s a great time of year to curl up on the couch with a good book, the scarier and spookier the better!

See below for our All Hallow’s Read: Halloween 2015 Book Recommendations…

Ransom Riggs Library of Souls Miss Peregrine Peculiar Children Header

Library of Souls
The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children
Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle Edition
Written by Ransom Riggs
Quirk Books
Release Date: September 22nd, 2015

When we last left peculiar children (well teenagers), Jacob and Emma, in Hollow City, they were on the brink of death. Jacob, in particular, had a hollow tentacle wrapped around his neck. When all of a sudden, a calm surrounded him and he was able to speak command in hollow-tongue. And the hollow obeyed. Wth?!?!

And that’s where Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs begins – the moment Jacob realizes that his gift is not just to sense or see hollows, but to control them.

The review continues below, but also check out the book tour dates and Ransom Riggs video below.

Avengers: Age of Ultron star Samuel L. Jackson is in talks with Fox to join the cast of Tim Burton‘s big-screen adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, according to Variety.

There’s no mention yet on which character Jackson will play in the story, based on the 2011 Ransom Riggs book of the same name published by Quirk Books. If negotiations go well, the 66-year-old actor will star alongside Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) and Eva Green (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, 300: Rise of an Empire) in the film.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Director Tim Burton has found the actor he wants to play the character Jacob Portman in his upcoming adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. No official offer has been made yet but reports are that Burton wants Asa Butterfield to take on the role.

In the book, Jacob Portman is a 16-year-old boy who seeks to find the truth about his grandfather’s past after he’s murdered, and finds himself at a home where children with special abilities live and are watched over by their guardian Miss Peregrine (who will be played by Eva Green in the movie).
