FINISHED:
Riggs, Ransom. (2011). Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Philadelphia, PA: Quirk Books.

[Not quite as wonderful as I had hoped/heard it might be - it was definitely worth reading, though. After his grandfather is viciously murdered, Jacob decides that it might be in his best interest to go visit the island and school where his grandfather grew up in order to see for himself if the wild tales his grandfather told were true. What Jacob ends up finding on the island is way more than he ever imagined, and he must ultimately decide if he wants to return to his old life or stay where/when (...) he is... Filled with creepy, apparently authentic period photos, though overall lacking the eerie tone that I was expecting.]

STARTED:
Reeve, Philip. (2011). Web of air. New York: Scholastic.

[Reading for ACL to see if I deem it worthy of inclusion on our Distinguished List...]
