Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience. September 3, 1940. Ten peculiar children flee an army of deadly monsters. And only one person can help them-but she's trapped in the body of a bird.

There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. And before Jacob can deliver the peculiar children to safety, he must make an important decision about his love for Emma Bloom. (MRS. PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, the first volume in this series, was the basis of the 2015 movie by Tim Burton.).

Reviews

The 2nd installment to this was as enjoyable as the first, with a bit more adventure. These books have very unique characters that I find myself attached to. The photographs also add an awesome touch. It's a sort of fairytale/fable with some of the innocence of childhood but the depth and darkness of adulthood as well. I would have finished this much earlier but I have been training a new puppy and fell behind. I look forward to the next book to this series.

This is the second novel of "Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children." The book was probably written for a younger audience, young adult, but I couldn't put it down! Jacob Portman is starting to learn his talent and tune into it more to feel the hollowgasts. For the first time the peculiar children are out of there loop [in search of help to turn there ymbryne back into her human form] and are bouncing from different loops and time periods, to meeting new peculiars and enemies along the way. During the entire saga you're learning more about each character though. They play off each other's strength's and weaknesses. Jacob truly becomes one of the group. It's a harsh journey but the character development is beautiful.
