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. Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly mesmerizing) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight readers of all ages.

I really liked this book because there was lots of danger. In one of the dangerous situations they had to go through a city that was being raided by Germans. This made it exciting and a thrilling read. My favourite character was miss peregrine the bird because in the end this was a wight disguised as a bird.

It was quite scary and intriguing because there are lots of monsters. It is just as good as the first book- it continues on where the first book left off.

I loved this book it was a great follow up to the film. The plot was engaging and misleading. My favourite part was when the bird turned back to a human.

It is as good as it's previous book. Just a bit more darker and scarier.

This book was good because it adds to the insecurity of the peculiar childrens' lives at the end of Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children when all of the children leave Cairnholm with their guardian Miss Peregrine stuck as a bird. The vintage photos make the reading style like the first book but there is an exciting plot twist near the end when Miss Peregrine is not the bird the children had been trying to save but her evil brother. The book was very gripping and the story makes you tense right until the end of the book.

I think that this book is perfect for horror, romance and mystery readers, the types which i like as well. I would recommend this book to 11 upwards readers becuase of the type of book and the language. It's a sequel to Miss Perigrines Home for Peculiar Children and is linked well.
