Recently I have been reading plenty of fantasy books that have bent the norms and given me a tornado of thoughts. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is one of those series that will leave you spellbound in no time. This fourth book in the installment is no different.
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, 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 an American peculiardom - a world with a few ymbrynes, or rules - that none of them yet understand.
Their story is again illustrated throughout by haunting vintage photographs, but with a striking addition for this new adventure - full colour.
Wonderfully absorbing, I found this YA very much ahead of its generation. It's no wonder this series is such a sought-after addition to any reader's shelves. Keep reading and enjoy the wonderful world of fantasy and the escape it gives.
