MOVIE!
This frist book in this amazing series that was set to film in 2016. Although not very accurate to the book, the movie was still enjoyable. The carnival scene wasn't in the book but was still my favorite part of the movie.

Quizzes!
There are so many fun quizzes out there that are related to this book so I've compiled a list of just a few and took each one myself.
I got 100 percent correct on this quiz. It was pretty simple with a though question here and there. It was mostly asking about basic facts about the storyline.
The Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children Quiz- Goodreads.
Again, 100 percent was my score. It was very simple like the last quiz.
Which Character Are You?- MagiQuiz
I am Bronwyn. Here's what the quiz had to say about me:
"You are Browyn strong, somewhat mysterious, and incredibly kind. You are loyal, caring, and fairly maternal to the people around you. No matter the situation, you will always work to protect your friends, showing both your courage and your deep feelings towards the people around you. You aren't the most intelligent person" -I'm offended- "around but you more than make up for it with the way you treat others and how hard you work to make the world a better place.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the books:
- "I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was."
- "We cling to our fairytales until the price for believing in them becomes too high."
- "Sometimes it's better not to look back"
- "Will you quit shouting and let me bleed in peace!"
- "How many times do I have to tell you? Polite persons do not take supper nude!"
