Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

I enjoyed Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs which is set in both "the present" and during WWII.  Jacob has grown up with his grandfather Abe telling him tales of his life on an island in Britain where he was sent by his Jewish parents to escape Nazi Germany.  Jacob believed these tales were like "fairy stories".  Then his grandfather dies tragically and Jacob and his father travel to the island to hopefully learn more about Abe's life there.  Jacob finds his way in to a "time loop" which transports him back to WWII and the home for peculiar children that his grandfather had described.  These children have different "peculiar" traits e.g. one of them is invisible.  Their lives are threatened by evil beings and Jacob resolves to do what he can to save them.  The story itself becomes peculiar at that point but it is a fantasy I was happy to go along with. 31/2/5
