Ever since reading book one of the Peculiar Children series I have been thinking back to it, awaiting the time when book two was released and hoping that I would enjoy it as much as I did the first and that it would have as much impact on me.

I was really excited when the book dropped through my letterbox and I was eager to start reading it.

The book starts off from the exact point that the first book ends which I liked as nothing was missing and I was lost in the world of peculiar children who I adore.

Jacob and the children endure a journey to London to find help for Miss Peregrine who is stuck in bird form and cannot change back to human form. Along the way they are dodging wights and hollows who are tracking them .Jacob and the peculiar children also meet new peculiar people and animals too.

This was a fantastic sequel with just as much adventure and fantasy as the first I was completely hooked.

The vintage photographs are brilliant and adds to the imagination while reading the book.

It was very well written and flowed very smoothly. Ending on another cliffhanger I cannot wait until book 3 is released.
