Which 2016 film directed by Tim Burton is based on a novel by Ransom Riggs?

The 2016 Tim Burton film based on a novel by Ransom Riggs is Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. It adapts Riggs’s 2011 dark fantasy novel about Jacob Portman, a teenager who discovers a hidden home for children with extraordinary abilities.

The story begins after Jacob investigates clues left by his grandfather, leading him to a remote Welsh island and a time loop connected to Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. The film combines fantasy, adventure, monsters, photography, and Burton’s distinctive gothic visual style. Eva Green plays Miss Peregrine, while Asa Butterfield plays Jacob.

A common mix-up is confusing the film with the wider book series, which includes Hollow City and Library of Souls. The movie is based primarily on the first novel, although it rearranges characters and plot details. Jane Goldman wrote the screenplay, and the film was released in 2016 by 20th Century Fox.
