“The House of Strange Children,” which suddenly became a bestseller in 2011, is an unusual blend of teenage fantasy and vintage photographs that captivated both readers and critics.
The second novel begins in 1940, right after the events of the first book. Miraculously escaped from Miss Peregrine’s island, Jacob and his new friends set out for London—the strange capital of the world. Along the way, they’ll encounter new allies, a menagerie of strange animals, and other unexpected surprises.
As in the previous novel, the text here is complemented by old photographs that were never published before, creating a unique sense of reality.
