Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Released January 14, 2014
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise
best seller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography
that enthralled readers and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it “an
enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a
believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters.”
This second novel begins in 1940,
immediately after the first book ended. Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island
by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends flee to London, the
peculiar capital of the world. There, they encounter a dangerous madman named
Caul, who also happens to be Miss Peregrine’s brother. Complete with dozens of
newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure
will delight fantasy readers of all ages.”

Burn by Julianna Baggott
“The fate of the world
is more fragile than ever as Pures battle Wretches and former allies become
potential enemies. Inside the Dome Patridge has taken his father's place as
leader of the Pures. His intent had been to bring down the Dome from the inside
with the help of the secret resistance force led by Partridge's former teacher
Glassings. But from his new position of power, things don't seem quite as clear.
Perhaps his father had been right. Perhaps if the world is to survive it needs
the Dome--and Partridge--to rule it. Outside the Dome Pressia and Bradwell
continue piecing together the clues left to them by their parents from the time
before the detonations. Soon they will be able to help heal the Wretches,
freeing them from their monstrous fusings and the Dome's oppression once and
for all. But their success also depends on Partridge. Can they still trust
their friend and ally to see their plan through? Or will a new war begin?”
