House of Odd

Since he was young, Jacob Portman expected to live an extraordinary life, similar to his grandfather. Abraham Portman told stories like no one else could, and he swore that every one was true. He and Jacob were very close, and they were just alike. However, as life progressed for Jacob, the only thing out of the ordinary about his life was his sexuality. Nobody expected him to be gay, and his parents weren't as supportive as he'd hoped. He had been just like his grandpa until the moment he came out to his family, and they were astonished when he told them. When things couldn't be worse, a horrific tragedy sends 16 year old Jacob traveling to a remote island, where he finds the ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As he explores its crumbling halls, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine's children were much more than peculiar; they may have been dangerous. They may have been on that quarantined island for a reason. And somehow, they may still be alive.
