Jacob grew up listening to his grandfather's stories of an island where a group of peculiar children live. He even had pictures of them. But as Jacob grew older, those stories faded into fantasy and the pictures looked like nothing more than hoaxes. When Jacob's grandfather is attacked, Jacob sets off to find out the truth of his grandfather's past. Everyone thinks that they're both crazy, but maybe they aren't. Maybe the stories are true. 
 Cassandra Jean does an amazing job of adapting Ranson Riggs' novel. When reading the original novel, I was itching for a more visual version of it (I thought it would make a great movie) and this satisfied that nearly completely. I actually enjoyed it more than the original novel. Jean's style is very much like Japanese manga. It's largely in black and white, but there are full colored pages that play a large role in differentiating between events. A great creepy read.
