SSR 2 Reflection
For my second quarter SSR book I choose Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. The book is fiction and revolves around Jacob Portman, our narrator. The book focused on the main protagonist , Jacob who pursues his search on his grandfather's mysterious past. This character starts off in the book being unsure and curious of who his grandfather really is.

Jacob's only friend is Ricky who was there when his grandfather was found dying in a nearby forest. His last words led Jacob to follow his grandfather's youth days, so he goes to Cairnholm island. Before this, his family had thought Jacob was starting to loose it because he had reported that a monster had killed his grandfather . Jacob's parents had sent him to therapy which did not help him as much. In desperate need of closure, Jacob went on his trip with his dad to the Cairnholm island to find out if his grandfather was actually telling the truth. We see Jacob's first interaction with the peculiar children and he seems startled; however, chases after the child to seek answers. Though, Jacob seemed unsure and uncertain he quickly turns into a determined and curious character. Jacob is more of a dynamic character due to his certain transitions throughout the book. As Jacob finds the home for the peculiar children, he finds out certain unique characteristics about himself that reveal many things about who he is and what he can do. The book digs into Jacob's relationship with his grandfather as it was much stronger than his father's and grandfather's relationship. He describes this situation when his father brings it up as being awkward.
