The plottwist at the end was amazing and (at least I) did not see it coming!
I would definitely recommend every fan of the first book to read the second, too!

In this book, we follow this strange kind, called Peculiar people who are capable of unique powers. Jacob Portman and his other peculiar friends, who were hiding in a time loop on the British island of Wales, were forced to flee their home when Wrights took over too hunt them down. Miss Peregrine, their injured teacher who got stuck in her Peregrine Falcon form, and now peculiar children has to go on a quest to save their caregiver and discover more about the evil wrights who are hunting them down.
This is a pure YA/children fantasy novel which I found it kinda refreshing to read. Usually my brain cannot handle genres like time traveling, time loop, and sci-fi (there's no sci-fi but I hope you get what I mean haha). This was written easier to understand, even for monkeys! 🙉 I liked the characters, the creativity and imagination of Ransom Riggs (he's the author btw). My favorite character is Addison, a talking dog who smokes all the time. Although for me it was a leetle bit hard to keep up with all characters (there were many ok), I believe that's my personal issue not worth projecting it on this book. I highly recommend this book for those people who's young siblings is trying to reach for CoHo books. Use this for distraction. Obviously give them The first book in the serie first 😅
