Ransom Riggs
Hi, I'm Ransom, and I like to tell stories. Sometimes I tell them with words, sometimes with pictures, often with both. I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. I started writing stories when I was young, on an old typewriter that jammed and longhand on legal pads. When I was a little older I got a camera for Christmas and became obsessed with photography, and when I was a little older still my friends and I came into possession of a half-broken video camera and began to make our own movies, starring ourselves, using our bedrooms and backyards for sets. I have loved writing stories and taking photographs and making movies ever since, and have endeavored to do all three.
A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #4)
Ransom Riggs
The #1 bestselling series returns with a thrilling new story arc set in America!
Vintage photographs reveal the never-before-seen world of peculiar America with a stunning addition—full-color images.
Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe.
Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is again illustrated throughout by haunting vintage photographs, but with a striking addition for this all-new, multi-era American adventure—full color.

BD Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers , Tome 01: Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers
Ransom Riggs
Fils unique, destiné à reprendre la pharmacie de ses parents, ado indolent et sans passion... Jacob mène une vie monotone. Son grand-père lui raconte depuis qu'il est petit des histoires merveilleuses : un orphelinat abrite sur une île mystérieuse des enfants aux talents extraordinaires... Même si Jacob a parfois eu envie d'y croire, il est lucide: le vieil homme n'a plus toute sa tête. Mais, un jour, Grand-Père n'est pas dans sa maison. Jacob finit par le retrouver dans le jardin, une horrible blessure au ventre. Il a été attaqué par une créature de cauchemar aux griffes comme des lames, la bouche emplie de tentacules : un « creux ». Bien sur, Jacob croit d'abord à une hallucination. Il prend des médicaments, voit un psychologue, tente d'oublier... sans succès. Alors il prend une décision : il va partir à la recherche de l'île de son grand-père. Qui sait s'il pourra y trouver des indices ? Et, peut-être, des gens qui l'auront connu ? Sans le savoir, le jeune homme vient de mettre le doigt dans l'engrenage. Il va découvrir la lutte sans merci que les estres et les creux livrent aux enfants particuliers. Car les enfants particuliers existent bien, à l'abri d'une boucle temporelle ! Et, à leur tête, la délicieuse Miss Peregrine veille sur eux... Impossible de décrire le charme de cette histoire parue en 2012 aux éditions Bayard sous forme de roman. Il émane de personnages bien troussés, de vieilles photos de «freaks» parfois truquées, de scènes d'action remarquables et du trait clair et sensible de la dessinatrice... Lisez, on vous dit !

Na het tragische verlies van zijn grootvader reist de zestienjarige Jacob naar een afgelegen eiland in Wales, waar hij de ruïnes ontdekt van een verlaten tehuis voor kinderen. Wanneer Jacob de verlaten kamers van het tehuis verkent, blijkt dat de kinderen van het tehuis meer dan alleen bijzonder waren. Misschien waren ze wel gevaarlijk.

De buitengewone teleurstellingen van Leopold Berry (Sunderworld #1)
Ransom Riggs
Dit is de Nederlandse collector’s editie met slipcase en limited edition hardcover met videocassette-look.
De 17-jarige Leopold Berry is één grote teleurstelling, nog wel het meest voor zijn vader, de tirannieke Richter. Dat hij om zich heen in Los Angeles vreemde, hallucinante dingen ziet, draagt ook niet bij aan zijn gevoel van eigenwaarde. Een man die een tand in een parkeermeter stopt. Een half-mechanische wasbeer met een brandende staart die hem maar niet met rust wil laten … Elk waanbeeld lijkt geplukt uit een goedkope tv-reeks uit de jaren 1990, Max’ Adventures in Sunderworld. Samen met zijn beste vriend Emmett ontdekt Leopold dat LA, zijn thuisstad, vreemder is dan ze ooit hadden kunnen denken.
Hoe vecht je tegen de duisternis als niemand in je gelooft? De nieuwe bestseller van Ransom Riggs, voor young adults.

Pokušavajući odgonetnuti prilično sumnjive okolnosti pod kojima se ona zbila, u ruke mu dospije tajnovito pismo koje ga odvodi na daleki velški otok gdje otkriva ruševine doma gospođice Peregrine za čudnovatu djecu.
Dok Jacob istražuje napuštene sobe i hodnike u razrušenoj kući, postaje mu jasno da ta djeca nisu bila samo čudnovata: možda su bila i opasna Možda su s pravom bila izolirana na napuštenome otoku. Koliko se god to činilo nemogućim, možda su nekako još uvijek živa…

Gli straordinari fallimenti di Leopold Berry
Ransom Riggs
"Dopo la serie di culto di Miss Peregrine, Ransom Riggs torna con il primo episodio della nuova saga di una storia di magia e amicizia unica e potente, in un mondo pieno di fascino che solo l'immaginazione di Riggs poteva creare. Un uomo che si toglie di bocca un dente per pagare il parchimetro; un procione su un albero con la coda in fiamme; una botola luminosa che appare all'improvviso in mezzo a un parcheggio. Adesso che ha diciassette anni, Leopold Berry riesce a capire meglio l'origine di queste allucinazioni. Nelle confuse settimane dopo la morte della madre, infatti, il ragazzo allora dodicenne aveva scoperto le cassette VHS dell'unica stagione delle ""Avventure di Max a Sunderworld"" in uno scatolone destinato alla spazzatura. Da quel giorno, perdersi nel mondo di quella oscura serie anni Novanta per Leopold è diventato l'unico modo per sfuggire alla triste realtà: lui è un nerd disadattato, sua madre non c'è più e con suo padre, uomo autoritario e freddo che si è rifatto una famiglia, il rapporto è irrecuperabile. Ma dopo essersi confidato con Emmet, l'unico amico che ha, sulle sue visioni, girando senza meta per Los Angeles con la vecchia macchina della madre i due scoprono man mano che la loro città è molto più strana di quanto hanno creduto fino a quel momento e che quelle di Leo non sono il mondo di Sunder esiste davvero, nascosto sotto la grande metropoli, ed è anche in grave pericolo. Sicuro che sia l'occasione per dimostrare di valere qualcosa a se stesso e a un padre che non crede in lui, Leopold rischierà tutto per rivendicare il suo destino e salvare il mondo dei suoi sogni d'infanzia. Ma quando le cose prendono una piega terribilmente, orribilmente, straziantemente storta, le delusioni di Leopold si rivelano più straordinarie di quanto avrebbe mai potuto immaginare."

Hollow City. Il secondo libro di Miss Peregrine. La casa dei ragazzi speciali
Ransom Riggs
Chi è Jacob Portman? Un ragazzo qualunque finito dentro un'avventura più grande di lui, o un predestinato, uno Speciale dai poteri prodigiosi, cacciatore di mostri terrificanti? Nessuno conosce la verità. L'unica cosa certa è che sembrano trascorsi secoli dal giorno in cui la misteriosa morte del nonno lo ha spinto a indagare sul passato della sua famiglia, catapultandolo sull'isoletta di Cairnholm, al largo delle coste gallesi. È qui che si imbatte nella bizzarra e affascinante combriccola degli Speciali: creature dotate di curiosi e irripetibili poteri, membri superstiti di una stirpe meravigliosa, costretti, per sfuggire alla persecuzione di un mondo ottusamente normale, ad affidarsi alle inflessibili cure di Miss Peregrine, la donna-uccello in grado di manomettere il tempo. Ma ora che Miss Peregrine è ferita e non riesce a recuperare le proprie sembianze umane, i ragazzi speciali e Jacob dovranno vedersela da soli con chi minaccia di distruggerli, e così abbandonare l'eterno presente in cui hanno vissuto per avventurarsi nel mondo reale.

La casa dei ragazzi speciali", è basato l'omonimo film, prodotto dalla Twentieth Century Fox, scritto e diretto da Tim Burton.
Hollow City (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #2)
Ransom Riggs
September 3, 1940. Ten peculiar children flee an army of deadly monsters. And only one person can help them — but she’s trapped in the body of a bird.
The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. And before Jacob can deliver the peculiar children to safety, he must make an important decision about his love for Emma Bloom.
Hollow City draws readers into a richly imagined world of telepathy and time loops, of sideshows and shapeshifters. Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.

Ransom Riggs
Jacob Portman est de retour chez lui, en Floride, là où tout a commencé. Et cette fois, son rêve est devenu réalité : Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers sont à ses côtés. Ces derniers découvrent, fascinés, le monde moderne. Afin de faciliter leur intégration, Jacob est chargé de leur donner des cours de normalité. Au programme : plage, baignade, et leçons particulières...
Mais la découverte d'un mystérieux bunker dans la maison de son grand-père va tout changer.
Persuadé qu'Abe lui a laissé des indices pour sauver des enfants particuliers isolés, Jacob entraîne ses amis sur les routes.

La casa per bambini speciali di Miss Peregrine
Ransom Riggs
Quali mostri popolano gli incubi del nonno di Jacob, unico sopravvissuto allo sterminio della sua famiglia di ebrei polacchi? Sono la trasfigurazione della ferocia nazista? Oppure sono qualcosa d'altro, e di tuttora presente, in grado di colpire ancora? Quando la tragedia si abbatte sulla sua famiglia, Jacob decide di attraversare l'oceano per scoprire il segreto racchiuso tra le mura della casa in cui, decenni prima, avevano trovato rifugio il nonno Abraham e altri piccoli orfani scampati all'orrore della Seconda guerra mondiale. Soltanto in quelle stanze abbandonate e in rovina, rovistando nei bauli pieni di polvere e dei detriti di vite lontane, Jacob potrà stabilire se i ricordi del nonno, traboccanti di avventure, di magia e di mistero, erano solo invenzioni buone a turbare i suoi sogni notturni. O se, invece, contenevano almeno un granello di verità, come sembra testimoniare la strana collezione di fotografie d'epoca che Abraham custodiva gelosamente. Possibile che i bambini e i ragazzi ritratti in quelle fotografie ingiallite, bizzarre e non di rado inquietanti, fossero davvero, come il nonno sosteneva, speciali, dotati di poteri straordinari, forse pericolosi? Possibile che quei bambini siano ancora vivi, e che - protetti, ma ancora per poco, dalla curiosità del mondo e dallo scorrere del tempo - si preparino a fronteggiare una minaccia oscura e molto più grande di loro?

Quand le chaos total régnera sur la Terre,
Alors commencera une ère de discorde.

Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers (Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers, #1)
Ransom Riggs
Jacob Portman, 16 ans, écoute depuis son enfance les récits fabuleux de son grand-père. Ce dernier, un juif polonais, a passé une partie de sa vie sur une minuscule île du pays de Galles, où ses parents l'avaient envoyé pour le protéger de la menace nazie. Le jeune Abe Portman y a été recueilli par Miss Peregrine Faucon, la directrice d'un orphelinat pour enfants « particuliers ». Selon ses dires, Abe y côtoyait une ribambelle d'enfants doués de capacités surnaturelles, censées les protéger des « Monstres ».Un soir, Jacob trouve son grand-père mortellement blessé par une créature qui s'enfuit sous ses yeux. Bouleversé, Jacob part en quête de vérité sur l'île si chère à son grand-père. En découvrant le pensionnat en ruines, il n’a plus aucun doute : les enfants particuliers ont réellement existé. Mais étaient-ils dangereux ? Pourquoi vivaient-ils ainsi reclus, cachés de tous ? Et s'ils étaient toujours en vie, aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître…

3 septembrie 1940 este ziua în care zece copii deosebiţi încearcă să se salveze de o armată de monştri. Miss Peregrine este singura care îi poate ajuta, dar ea este captivă în corpul unei păsări. Extraordinara aventură începută în volumul anterior din seria Miss Peregrine continuă într-o călătorie plină de neprevăzut pentru Jacob Portman şi noii săi prieteni. Fără altă soluţie, copiii pornesc către Londra, oraşul în care s-ar putea afla singura lor salvare, sperând să găsească acolo leacul care să o vindece pe Miss Peregrine. Pe străzile distruse, cu ferestrele clădirilor întunecate ca nişte ochi fără vedere, pericolul pândeşte la fiecare colţ.
Ca un adevărat magician, Ransom Riggs se foloseşte şi de această dată de fotografii vechi, care completează şi pun în valoare fascinanta poveste a copiilor deosebiţi.

Osobliwy dom pani Peregrine
Ransom Riggs
Życie Jacoba nie zapowiadało się ekscytująco. Pogodził się z myślą, że nigdy nie zostanie odkrywcą i nigdy nie będzie miał wielu przyjaciół. Ważne miejsce w jego życiu zajmował dziadek. To on najbardziej mu imponował i to on opowiadał mu najlepsze historie na dobranoc o pogodnym sierocińcu na walijskiej wysepce, ukrytym przed złem, wojną i potworami… Aż pewnego dnia dziadek Portman umarł w niejasnych okolicznościach. I wtedy wszystko się zaczęło…
Jacob wyrusza na odciętą od świata wyspę, by zgłębić jej tajemnice. Czy zmierzy się z potworami ze swoich snów? Czy osobliwe dzieci ze starych fotografii naprawdę istniały? Co jest bajką, a co prawdą? Co jest faktem, a co urojeniem?
"Osobliwy dom pani Peregrine" to trzymający w napięciu thriller nie tylko dla młodzieży. Rdzeń książki stanowią niezwykłe, dziwne fotografie, od których trudno oderwać wzrok, choć sprawiają, że ciarki chodzą po plecach i zasnąć jakoś trudniej. Całości dopełniają niesamowite zwroty akcji, klimat grozy i postacie… cokolwiek osobliwe.
Może ta książka jest dziwaczna, może jest ekscentryczna, ale uważaj! — pochłonie Cię bez reszty.
Powieść przez 56 tygodni znajdowała się na liście bestsellerów New York Timesa.
Prawa do ekranizacji zostały sprzedane wytwórni 20th Century Fox, a reżyserem filmu ma być Tim Burton, znany m.in. z reżyserii filmów: "Batman", "Alicja w Krainie Czarów" czy "Charlie i fabryka czekolady".
Priče o čudnovatom

Talking Pictures: Images and Messages Rescued from the Past
Ransom Riggs
With the candid quirkiness of Awkward Family Photos and the confessional intimacy of PostSecret, Ransom Riggs's Talking Pictures is a haunting collection of antique found photographs—with evocative inscriptions that bring these lost personal moments to life—from the author of the New York Times bestselling illustrated novel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Each image in Talking Pictures reveals a singular, frozen moment in a person’s life, be it joyful, quiet, or steeped in sorrow. Yet the book’s unique depth comes from the writing accompanying each photo: as with the caption revealing how one seemingly random snapshot of a dancing couple captured the first dance of their 40-year marriage, each successive inscription shines like a flashbulb illuminating a photograph’s particular context and lighting up our connection to the past.
The Conference of the Birds (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #5)
Ransom Riggs
A FRAGILE PEACE. AN APOCRYPHAL WARNING. CHAOS WAITING IN THE HEART OF THE STORM.
With his dying words, H—Jacob Portman’s final connection to his grandfather Abe’s secret life— entrusts Jacob with a mission: Deliver newly contacted peculiar Noor Pradesh to an operative known only as V. Noor is being hunted. She is the subject of an ancient prophecy, one that foretells a looming apocalypse. Save Noor—Save the future of all peculiardom.
With only a few bewildering clues to follow, Jacob must figure out how to find V, the most enigmatic, and most powerful, of Abe’s former associates. But V is in hiding and she never, ever, wants to be found.
With enemies behind him and the unknown ahead, Jacob Portman’s story continues as he takes a brave leap forward into The Conference of the Birds.
The Desolations of Devil's Acre (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #6)
Ransom Riggs
The fate of peculiardom hangs in the balance in this epic conclusion to the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.
The last thing Jacob Portman saw before the world went dark was a terrible, familiar face.
Suddenly, he and Noor are back in the place where everything began - his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how they escaped from V's loop to find themselves in Florida. But he does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned.
After a narrow getaway from a blood-thirsty hollow, Jacob and Noor reunite with Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children in Devil's Acre. The Acre is being plagued by desolations - weather fronts of ash and blood and bone - a terrible portent of Caul's amassing army.
Risen from the Library of Souls and more powerful than ever, Caul and his apocalyptic agenda seem unstoppable. Only one hope remains - deliver Noor to the meeting place of the seven prophesied ones. If they can decipher its secret location.
The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry (Sunderworld, #1)
Ransom Riggs
The much-anticipated new fantasy series from Ransom Riggs, his first since introducing the #1 global phenomenon Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.
Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just won’t leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are.
Not a good sign.
In the blurry weeks after his mother’s death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help. Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, he’ll realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but it’s in grave danger.
Certain he’s finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that he’s not the disappointment his father believes him to be. But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopold’s disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined.
How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself?
Welcome to Sunderworld.

המעון של מיס פרגרין לילדים משונים (המעון של מיס פרגרין לילדים משונים #1)
Ransom Riggs
從小，雅各的爺爺為他說的床邊故事十分與眾不同，他會一遍又一遍地說著自己童年時的詭異故事：在英國威爾斯的孤兒院裡，院長是會變成大鳥的隼夫人，院童中有不用繩子綁住就會飄到空中的小女孩，後腦杓有第二張嘴的人，當然，還有一個透明的男孩。
小時候 的雅各對爺爺的故事深信不疑，但隨著時間過去，長大的他認為那只是些重複曝光的舊照片，爺爺只是個想像力豐富的老人，畢竟，這世上怎麼會有飄在空中的小女孩呢？
但在那一天，他看到了。
雅各親眼看到爺爺故事中的「怪物」。
那一天，怪物在雅各面前襲擊爺爺、奪走他的生命。雅各開始明白，爺爺說的不是故事，是他真實經歷的一切。他也記得，在爺爺斷氣之前，抓著他的領子對他說：「去找大鳥、去圈套裡、去告訴他們發生了什麼事……」於是，他決定完成爺爺的遺願，前往威爾斯的怪奇孤兒院、尋找隼夫人。不管這是否代表怪物將會盯上他，把他當作下一個目標……
מפת הימים
Ransom Riggs
לאחר שהציל את המשונים ב אירופה, שב ג'ייקוב אל מחוזות ילדותו בפלורידה ואיתו מיס פֶּרֶגרין, אֶמָה וחבריהם. יחד מנסים החברים לפתוח דף חדש, בעולם הרגילים ובעולם המשונים כאחד. אבל החזרה אל העבר חושפת סודות משפחתיים ואיתם אחריות גדולה. עד מהרה הילדים מגלים קהילה שלמה של משונים, שחיים בסכנה מתמדת. רק ג'ייקוב וחבריו יוכלו לעזור להם להגיע למקום מבטחים, אך לשם כך יהיה עליהם לצאת מתחת לכנפה הבטוחה והמגוננת של מיס פרגרין ולהתמודד עם עולם פראי ללא חוקים, שאיש מהם עוד לא מבין.
ספריית הנשמות (המעון של מיס פרגרין לילדים משונים #3)
Ransom Riggs
סיפורו של ג'ייקוב התחיל במסע אל אי נידח, שם הוא מצא את "המעון של מיס פרגרין לילדים משונים". הוא נמשך במבצע הצלה נועז של הילדים הלכודים ב"עיר חלולה", ועכשיו מגיע החלק השלישי והאחרון. ג'ייקוב בן ה–16 מגלה כוחות חדשים וצולל אל ההיסטוריה כדי להציל את חבריו הכלואים במבצר שמור היטב. אל הדרך יוצאים עמו הילדה עם האש בקצות האצבעות והכלב המריח ילדים אבודים. יחד הם יגיעו אל סמטאותיה החשוכות של לונדון הוויקטוריאנית, בניסיון אחרון לקבוע את גורלם של הילדים המשונים.

רגע לפני מותו בלילה אפל, סבו של ג'ייקוב מספיק לומר רק שהמפלצות חזרו. ג'ייקוב בן ה-16 יודע שכדי לגלות מה קרה, הוא מוכרח לנסוע לאי מבודד ליד חופי ויילס, אל המעון של מיס פֶּרֶגרין לילדים משונים.
כך נפתח הספר הראשון בסדרת מיס פרגרין, שכבש את העולם בסערה ושהה שבועות ארוכים ברשימות רבי המכר, גם בישראל.
עכשיו מגיע ספר ההמשך המצמרר. השנה היא 1940. ג'ייקוב וחבורת היתומים נמלטים מהמעון בסירה. הם חייבים לשחרר את מיס פרגרין, שכלואה בגוף ציפור. הם בדרכם ללונדון, וזו עתידה להיות הדרך הקשה ביותר בחייהם.
עיר חלולה הוא סיפור אנושי מרגש, פנטזיה מצמררת וכובשת המלווה באוסף גלויות עתיקות נפלאות.
