Book 1 Project

Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Trading Cards

Attention all readers! Are you or is someone you know a fan of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children? As you read this fabulous story by Ransom Riggs were you hanging on the edge of seat and biting your nails in anticipation as Jacob ventured into Miss Peregrines loop and discovered the mystifying truth behind his grandfather Abe's stories? Did you just want to burst into tears when poor Emma discovered the horrifying reality of her dear Abe's perilous end, when Miss P told her  of Jacob, "Of course he's Abraham Portman's grandson. Just look at him!"? Did you lose yourself in the "orphanage" and wish so dearly that you had your own peculiar talent? If you are one of those people, then have we got something incredibly fun for you!

Introducing... Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Trading Cards! Collect every peculiar child from the book until you have accumulated each resident of Miss Peregrine's fantastic September 3rd, 1940 loop. Each card features a photo of a particular peculiar child taken straight from  the book, and when you flip it over there's a wonderful description of their specific peculiar abilities, hobbies, and most heroic moments from the story.

In the section detailing their peculiar talent, you will find a point value. The ultimate goal in the story is to defeat the Wights and Hollows to make the loops safe again for all the peculiars. The point values are based on how much that particular peculiar child's talents do to help make this goal achievable. More important or useful talents will have higher point values, and the trading cards that they're on are much more rare.  If you have multiple cards that add up to a point value that is equal to one specific card those sets of cards may be swapped. However, cards cannot be traded for each other if the traded point values are not equal. Thus, you cannot trade a Millard card for a Jacob card. If you haven't read the book, pick up some of Miss P's trading cards anyway and immerse yourself in the world of peculiar people, (though I encourage you to read it if you have a chance). 

For a limited time we will also be offering special edition trading cards featuring Miss Peregrine herself and the other Ymbrynes or time travelers mentioned in the book. These cards will only be available for a short amount of time, as these peculiar have children to be tending to and loops to be creating! They will also be worth many, many points and have special peculiar trading abilities that which you can only discover if you buy or receive one of their cards.

  2. Cool! The games you have created here sound great. They should really be made in to true games for kids. Another idea that sounds good for this book would be a video game with all of the characters stared in it.
