Umbrella Summer

Annie Richards was a normal, fun girl until tragedy hit her family. Ever since Annie's brother Jarod had a surprise death one Febuary morning, Annie has been very cautious. Annie no longer was like herself, she bought boxes and boxes of bandages a week to cover up just a scratch. Annie became so cautious that it was making her life and others not as fun. Annie couldn't live her life always worried of dying or getting sick. It takes a neighbor to change Annie's mind about how to live the rest of her life.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

A teenage boy named Jacob begins a journey when his grandfather dies suddenly. Jacob's grandfather had always told Jacob, when he was little, stories about his childhood. Jacob's grandfather's childhood was fantasy-like though, full of levitating girls and boys who could hold boulders.  Jacob stopped believing his grandfather's stories until the afternoon his grandfather dies. Jacob and his dad go on an adventure to a barely populated island where his grandfather lived as a child during World War II.   In the large home where "peculiar" children once lived Jacob uncovers the truth of his grandfather's childhood through clues and a trip back to the past.
