 Jake thought he was normal. But one night when his grandpa died his life changed. Jake’s grandpa always told Jake stories about when he was a kid. He told him about monsters and going to a special home in Wales. This home had children that had peculiar powers. This is important because, his grandpa was preparing him for when he was older.

I like this book because it is action packed and really breathtaking. Jake is such a brave character. I also liked the book because it had so many details such as descriptions of the children trying to get their headmistress back. I would recommend this book because it is interesting and I like that they include real pictures. I have not read anything like this because it is so unique. I would rate this book 5 stars.
