“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.”
