We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

A book review by Madeline Soucie

We Were Liars is a mystery in its own way, unwound by a girl as she regains her memories after a traumatic event from two years ago. And, of course, everyone is not as they seem.

I cannot tell you anymore, least I ruin the story for you. But I will say this; The Sinclairs are a rich family who spends their summers on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts, and they are liars.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

A book review by Madeline Soucie               

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is told in both words and pictures, making the story more realistic.

After his grandfather dies, Jacob is left wondering about his grandfather's last words and starts looking into his old stories. What Jacob finds leads him to an island -- more specifically an old abandoned orphanage hoping to find answers.

As Jacob explores Miss Peregrine's abandoned home it becomes clear that not only were his grandfather's stories true, but so were the children in them. He also learns that the children were all kept there for a reason. They might have been more than just peculiar -- they might have been dangerous -- and still alive.

   

Read this interesting book to learn more about Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children.
