But I did know that by putting a plate on the bottom it would make it float down and not fall. So when it was dropped from 20ft it wouldn’t crack.

They said they wouldn’t go back to the same

While Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is unlike anything I have ever read. It's unique and quirky and everything I want in a book.Full of adventure, unexpected plot twists and suspense, I loved it!
