Review:

I’m so glad that I finally read the second book in this series! I looked it up on Goodreads, and I thought there were only three books in this series, but apparently there are like 5?

Anyways, the book picks up where the first one left off! Jacob is off on an adventure with the Peculiar Children, and he has to figure out how to help save Miss Peregrine and the other peculiars from a terrible fate! People are hunting them, and their home has been destroyed, so they must travel to find help and a safe place! 

I’m amazed by the second time how creative this story really is! I love the additions of pictures to the story, and I think it really adds to the story! The world that Riggs has created is really fascinating! The fact that you can travel through time through the loops created is really cool! It’s like a fun twist on a time travel story!

If you’re looking for a fun and interesting YA fantasy novel, then I definitely recommend this book!

Happy reading!
