Publisher's Summary

The number-one best-selling series returns with a thrilling new story arc set in America!

Vintage photographs reveal the never-before-seen world of peculiar America with a stunning addition - full-color images.

Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery - a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe. 

Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited - truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop. 

Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom - a world with few ymbrynes, or rules - that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children.

Missing chapters

The majority of the first chapter is missing. There is info required to understand chapter two that is missing. Nothing says whether or not this title is abridged.

Too loud

This yarn is almost as enjoyable as the previous ones, with so many events crammed inside the chapters that it feels a bit like a rollercoaster ride, however one likes those. This one takes place partly in present day US, after Jake Portman returns home, from the Library of Souls, with twists and turns in and out of loops. The narrator is superb, but in this story there is a lot of yelling which when you listen with earphones to an audio book- you have to turn down the volume as not to damage your eardrums. If you just read this, it won't be a problem. This is not the narrator's fault, but the audio techs'. But that was enough to disturb the flow of the story which was disappointing. Otherwise I still find myself falling asleep from the otherwise smooth narration and seamless story line when listening in bed, and ending up in some strange dreams. The author has great imagination and makes it all flow from one peculiar place or person to another but actually makes it all seem completely normal. This story makes it clear you must read the next. I already have the fifth book and will pursue my dreams in peculiar dom. They continue to be greatly entertaining, which we all need at this time.

Very good read.

The book is very suspenseful and entertaining. i can't wat until book 5 comes out.

Too far off

i was sadly disappointed with the story line. Too much teenage quirkiness and a slow start in the beginning with not enough of the original personalities of the main characters showing. I understand that the author was trying to show how they were now normally aging, but I think he tried too hard. I also wanted to skip through alot of the "American gangerster" and screaming spoiled child parts. It was too far off the original story line. however towards the end it made more sense. Hopefully the next book will tie it all together nicely. Kerby Heybourne's performance was stellar!

Excellent voices

Seriously, the story is great, but the Voices! This voice actor has such a range of accents. Makes it so much more enjoyable!

love this series.

loved it. this seriesis imaginative, colorfull, and engaging. recommended to listeners of all ages.

perfect narration

Heyborne did a terrific job! As for the story, I think I am starting to outgrow it, but it is Peculiar 101. Story is a bit predictable but if it makes sense, then it's fine. This book finally humanizes Jacob a bit.

Omg

This story just gets better and better. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book.

Another great book in the series

Very happy to return to the peculiar world, this time in America. Can't wait to listen to the next.

Peculiardom is Amazing!

Beautifully developed characters who struggle with doing the right thing. Just as good as the first 2 novels!
