To start with, I have not read the book, so I cannot compare.
Jake’s grandfather, Abe (Terence Stamp), is dispatched under mysterious circumstances. He forgot to tell Jake (Asa Butterfield) something important, yet he leaves important clues that Jake must follow if he wants to keep his sanity.
We go along with Jake as he follows the clues to “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.” Will he find it, and if so, what part can he play in the big adventure?
I am not always a fan of Tim Burton; however, it looks like he did a good job with the story.
I was also surprised to see the list of actors, which included:
Samuel L. Jackson
Judi Dench
And many other well-known actors (some Shakespearean).
