La casa dei ragazzi speciali. Miss Peregrine
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? Su "Miss Peregrine. La casa dei ragazzi speciali", è basato l'omonimo film, prodotto dalla Twentieth Century Fox, scritto e diretto da Tim Burton. (lib)
