#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES
“I was blown away. . . . Hollow City is fantastic.”—USAToday.com
“A perfect blend of creepiness and thoughtfulness.”—PopMatters
“Ideal for fans of Neil Gaiman and Daniel Kraus, Hollow City blends fantasy and horror into a world that will engross readers and leave them eager for more.”—Shelf Awareness for Readers
Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and the rest of the peculiar children are fleeing the malevolent wights following them. Miss Peregrine is the only one who can help, but as she is trapped in bird form, the children must take a time loop to World War II London in search of a cure.
Along the way, the children encounter new allies and a menagerie of peculiar animals, but hideous surprises and betrayals 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.
Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly mesmerizing) vintage photographs, the thrilling second installment of Ransom Riggs’s bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series will enchant readers of all ages.
