Sequel: Hollow City  a"A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of peculiar photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its decaying bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine's children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined for a good reason. And somehow -- impossible though it seems -- they may still be alive."  2Library of Congress Subject HeadingsaOrphanagesxJuvenile fiction  2Library of Congress Subject HeadingsaIslandsxJuvenile fiction  2Library of Congress Subject HeadingsaExceptional childrenxJuvenile fiction
