Hallow City
Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children - Book 2
Picking up right where book 1 ends off, we are back at it with Jacob, Emma and the gang as they try and figure out a plan to save their beloved Miss Peregrine who happens to be trapped in Bird form.
As they can no longer go back to their loop, and learn that all the Ymbrynes have been taken by the Hallows and Wights, the kids embark on an epic adventure through time (or rather, times) and loops as they try to track down the last hope available to hopefully save Miss P, or have her lost forever; "So it had come to this: everything depended on a pigeon." (p. 290, Riggs)
As we go through the story, we see pieces of history we know, plus we are introduced to different Peculiars as we travel through their loops. Riggs does another amazing job at blending unique and, let's be honest, peculiar, photos that he has collected and bringing them to life. The characters and worlds he has created are so strange yet striking that you are absolutely entranced by them. Every chapter I changed my mind on who my favourite character was at that moment.
The shocking ending will have readers wide-eyed and gripping at the pages, unable to read fast enough and reaching for the next book the second this one is done. Fantastic!
