Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

When it comes to young adult novels, this debut book by author Ransom Riggs is among my favorites. The book follows the journey a young boy takes after a death in the family to find a strange orphanage on a Welsh Island. The Hollywood Reporter announced director Tim Burton is turning this beloved book into a movie in July of 2015. There isn’t a lot of other information concerning the movie, but there is still plenty of time to read the book.

Significance

Significance Significance is a novel by Shelly Crane that tells the story of Maggie and Caleb. Maggie is a down-on-her-luck teenager whose world quickly turns around when she meets Caleb. This thrilling novel covers everything from romance to the paranormal. Significance the movie will hit theaters in the summer of 2014.

Divergent

Divergent Divergent by Veronica Roth’s tagline “One choice can transform you” sums up this novel quite well. The book tells the story of Beatrice Prior who has a tough choice to make when she turns 16. I don’t want to go into too much detail for fear of giving the plot away. If you are a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, then you will love Divergent as well. Read this book before the movie comes out in March of 2014.

Since books are usually better than the movie, it’s best to read these novels before the films hit the big screen. Part of the fun of reading a book is to let your imagination run wild by picturing the characters and scenes in your mind. Seeing Hollywood’s interpretation in film form before reading the book can put a damper on the experience of the novel. Have you read any of these books yet? If so, what did you think?
