Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

For some reason I didn't find this book as engaging as I had hoped, though I'm having trouble pinpointing why. Maybe I had trouble relating to the main character, whose most defining quality was being a teenage boy. And the peculiar children were really defined by their abilities more than anything. The plot picked up at the end and I enjoyed the ride... but not sure my heart is committed to the series. We'll see.
