The magical realism of Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children series is unique, and the found photos that are peppered between the pages are equal parts intriguing and creepy. To celebrate the release of the paperback version of Hollow City, we’re giving one away!
There’s something special about this release, however: Inside the paperback is an exclusive excerpt of and a sneak peek of some photos that will be in the third book of the series—Library of Souls, which releases this fall—and a Q&A with Riggs.
Here’s the official word:
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise best seller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it “an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters.”
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.
