Published Jan 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. Its sequel,Hollow City, 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 must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises.

What did I think about this book?

Just as amazing as the first. It takes off exactly where the author stopped from the first book, and continues on an adventurous journey where the children are trying to save Miss Peregrine as she is stuck in her bird form. (If you haven't read the first one, that reference won't make sense to you.)

So many obstacles in their plan, so many times you'll be on the edge of your seat just wondering what will happen next. I couldn't for the life of me put this book down.

It's a mix of fantasy topped with time traveling and suspense, and sprinkled with just a little bit of love.

And just as the first one did, this one too leaves you on a chiffhangar. So....guess I'm just going to have to read that one next.

Mind you, I read these two books online, free. I don't have the actual book copies, but after reading them, I guarantee that I'll be making them a part of my physical collection.
