I'd recommend Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
The story follows a teenage boy who goes to Wales in search of clues about his Grandfather after the man's horrific death. On a Welsh island, he finds a strange orphanage full of children with strange powers and finds that there may be good reason that the children were quarantined on the island.
The novel does a wonderful job of integrating real vintage photographs into the story and is good book for anyone interested in a thrilling fantasy.
