by Ransom Riggs
Jacob gets on well with his Grandpa, even if he is a bit strange, talking of monsters and children with strange abilities, and an orphanage in Wales. Then Grandpa is savagely killed and Jacob goes to Wales to track down the orphanage and find out the truth of Grandpa's strange life. He uncovers time loops, peculiar children with abilities straight out of old-fashioned circuses, monsters, violent murders - and the truth.
The story starts out well, then loses its appeal slightly at the talk of time loops, and from there slight confusion begins. The author seems very rushed at the end to tie all the loose ends together. A slightly disappointing end to a promising start, but still worth a read.
