Synopsis
The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children.
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 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.
Hollow City draws readers into a richly imagined world of telepathy and time loops, of sideshows and shapeshifters. Like its predecessor, this second novel blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience - it will delight readers of all ages.
