Publisher's summary

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 audiences 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 surprises.

Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy fans of all ages.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Absolutely Marvelous

I love the how the reader really bring the characters to live through his voices! I read the first book of the series and knew I had to listen to the second one! This book is absolutely marvelous! The journey it takes you on is suspenseful and wonderful! I can not wait for the third book!

"NARRATOR"

Where does Hollow City rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love this series. I like "Jesse Bernstein" rather than "Kirby Heyborne" but the whole story was amazing.,

Have you listened to any of Kirby Heyborne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I don't like him.

Fantastic sequel!

At first, the change in narrator is going to be jarring if you listened to the first book, but stick with it! This narrator is even better once you get used to his voice. His accents and delivery are impeccable and the story continues to be engaging and exciting, with a looming sense of danger and true stakes. I'm already hitting Play on Book 3.

Another very enjoyable audio book.

A great book that draws the listener in to the excitement of the peculiar group of misfits on their urgent journey from one loop to the next.

The best series picks up

The Miss Peregrine series (specifically the first three) is my favorite book series and as much as I enjoy the first book, this is the book where the story and the excitement really takes off. Kirby Heyborne is the perfect narrator to the series and I still wish they would re-record the first book using his narration. Highly suggest listening to Hollow City!

Better than the first

The quality of the story is about the same but the writing is noticeably better. That and the narrators British accent less distracting
