Jacob and his friends are searching for other Peculiar Children that they have been separated from.  Heading to London and through a scary loop filled with Whites and Hollows, sixteen-year old Jacob and his girlfriend Emma encounter many creepy beings and they don’t know who they can trust.  Determined to free their Peculiar friends and the Ymbryne, Miss Peregrine, Jacob has to learn to hone his peculiar talent of controlling the Whites.  

I enjoyed this book as much as the first book.  I like Jacob and the creepy, dark world he encounters.  There are fun, quirky photographs throughout the book that add to the story.  This story had a satisfying end to their adventure but introduced a new problem/idea at the end that I’m looking forward to reading in the next book in the series.
