The #1 bestselling series returns with a
thrilling new story arc set in America!
Vintage photographs reveal the never-before-seen
world of peculiar America with a stunning addition—full-color images.
Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world,
Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss
Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best
to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon
interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s
grandfather, Abe.
Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets
long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous
legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into
Miss Peregrine’s time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into
the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or
rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this
brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is
again illustrated throughout by haunting vintage photographs, but with a
striking addition for this all-new, multi-era American adventure—full color.
