FOR TAHEREH
We rowed out through the harbor, past bobbing boats weeping rust from their seams, past juries of silent seabirds roosting atop the barnacled remains of sunken docks, past fishermen who lowered their nets to stare frozenly as we slipped by, uncertain whether we were real or imagined; a procession of waterborne ghosts, or ghosts soon to be.

"A STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT...
Hollow City is even richer that Rigg's imagination debut, Miss Peregrine's Home for Pecular Children"
- Boston Globe


SEPTEMER 3, 1940, TEN PECULIAR CHILDREN FLEE an army of deadly monsters.  And only one person can help them - but she's trapped in the body of a bird.  The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine's Home for Pecular Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world.  There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine.  But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner.  And before Jacob can deliver the peculiar children to  safety, he must make an important decision about his love for Emma Bloom.  Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.

RANSOM RIGGS grew up in Florida but now makes his home in the land of peculiar children - Los Angeles.  He was raised on a steady diet of ghost stories and British comedy, which probably explains the novels he writes.  You can find him on Twitter @ransomriggs.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
