Hollow City draws readers into a richly imagined world of telepathy and time loops, of sideshows and shapeshifters – a world populated with adult “peculiars”, murderous wights, and a bizarre menagerie of uncanny animals. And before Jacob can deliver the peculiar children to safety, he must make an important decision about his love for Emma Bloom. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine. They travel to London in the hope of finding another ymbryne (Miss Wren) who might know a way to transform their beloved headmistress back to her normal self. The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Hollow City focuses on the peculiar children trying to turn Miss Peregrine back into her human self-again. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises. 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.
