To find a cure for Miss Peregrine, their beloved headmistress, Jacob Portman and his peculiar friends journey through a time loop to London, 1940—the peculiar capital of the world
Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and the rest of the peculiar children are fleeing the malevolent wights following them. Miss Peregrine is the only one who can help, but as she is trapped in bird form, the children must take a time loop to World War II London in search of a cure.
Along the way, the children encounter new allies and a menagerie of peculiar animals, but hideous surprises and betrayals 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.
Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly mesmerizing) vintage photographs, the second chapter of the beloved Peculiar Children series will enchant readers of all ages.
“I was blown away. . . . Hollow City is fantastic.”—USAToday.com
“A worthy follow-up, and as addictive a read as the first.”—Hypable
“A perfect blend of creepiness and thoughtfulness.”—PopMatters
“Ideal for fans of Neil Gaiman and Daniel Kraus, Hollow City blends fantasy and horror into a world that will engross readers and leave them eager for more.”—Shelf Awareness for Readers
Oh, RR, how could you leave me with that ending?!!!
In "Hollow City", we catch up with Miss P's peculiar kids. The story begins right where the last installment ended. In this book, we see the kids growing, their desire for self preservation expanding to saving the peculiar race and even the normals.
Some of the great stuff? The time jumping. It is really interesting to read about the differences as they enter different temporal loops. The love story grows. I am a sucker for a romance and we get to see the love between Jacob and Emma blossom. Jacob comes into his power. Jacob is learning more and more about his peculiar powers and is proving to be quite the bad-ass. More peculiar history. We learn a lot more about the world of peculiars, wights and hollows. It is quite a well crafted and interesting world too. Action, action, action. There is a lot going on here as the kids constantly battle for survival in their attempts to save themselves and their race.
Uggghhhhhhh, book 3!!!! I need to know what happens to Miss P, Jacob, Emma and all my other friends.
