The #1 New York Times best-selling series
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
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.
