Ten peculiar children flee an army of deadly monsters. And only one person can help them\u2014but she\u2019s trapped in the body of a bird. The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine\u2019s Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises 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. Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Series: <\/b>Miss Peregrine&#8217;s Home for Peculiar Children (Book 2)<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Genre: <\/b>YA Fantasy<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Publisher:&nbsp;<\/b>Quirk Books; Reprint edition (February 24, 2015)<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Page Count:&nbsp;<\/b>416 pages<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">After finishing <i>Miss Peregrine&#8217;s Home for Peculiar Children<\/i>, I knew immediately I had to read the sequel. Thankfully, my birthday came right after I finished the book, so I got both of the sequels as presents! Because I&#8217;m such a slow reader, I just now got to this book, but wow. It&#8217;s even better than the first! I love the way the story is going, and I&#8217;m so excited to read the last book: <i>Library of Souls<\/i>. I really hope the movie does this series justice!<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">The Plot: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">The plot is definitely more intense than in the first book now. Jacob and the peculiars are on the run from wicked hollows and Miss Peregrine is stuck in her bird form. The first book only scratched the surface of the enchanting world of the peculiars and in this book we see so much more and it&#8217;s beautifully woven into the plot. I just can&#8217;t get enough of this series. This is the best series I&#8217;ve read since <\/span><i style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">the Hunger Games<\/i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"> and considering <\/span><i style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">the Hunger Games<\/i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"> is one of my favorite books of all time, that&#8217;s saying a lot for me. The world of the peculiars is in grave danger and our motley group is struggling to survive in this dangerous world as they travel through loops, meet other peculiars, evade hollows, all to save their ymbryne.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">The Characters: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I adore the character development in this book. It is prime. You get to know each of the peculiars so much more than in the first book. The personalities become far more defined. Jacob has a great character arc in his discovery of his peculiar abilities. Emma, Enoch, Hugh, Horace, Olive, Bronwyn, and Millard develop as well. New characters come into play such as Addison the talking dog, Dierdre the emu-raffe, Bekhir the gypsy, Mrs. Wren, Alethea, and many more. I love the inclusion of the gypsies. There&#8217;s such a delightful cast of characters. The only thing I wish was more prevalent was the main villain, but I think in <\/span><i style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">Library of Souls<\/i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"> we&#8217;ll see more of him.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/HollowCityPhoto2.jpg?resize=388%2C640\" width=\"388\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Setting:<\/span> While the first book centered around the island, this book expands to all over England and England in different time periods.

All of the peculiar&#8217;s abilities are so cool.

I counted eleven usages of d***, five usages of h***, two usages of a**, and two usages of ba*****. There is a good bit of violence including scary hologasts and bees stinging some men to death. There is a naked man in one part of the book, but nothing is profusely described, and there is some kissing between Emma and Jacob.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/HollowCityPhoto3.jpg?resize=404%2C640\" width=\"404\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What We Can Take Away For Our Writing:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">1.)

Ransom Riggs made sure to define each of their characters as soon as possible: Jacob (the leader, brave, but human), Emma (fiery and loyal), Bronwyn (motherly with super strength), Enoch (cynical and a bit mean), Horace (cowardly but kind), Hugh (unappreciated but there in a pinch), Millard (wise and intelligent), and Olive (tender and innocent). He also made sure each had a moment to shine and to prove their usefulness to the plot.
