Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in.

Thats where I was going, pinned between beefy uncles in the back seat of my parents car, when a wall of peculiar children seemed to leap directly from my imagination into the driveway before us, aglow in our high beams like a formation of angels. We skidded to a stop. A wave of dust erased everything beyond our windshield. Had I conjured their echo, some flickering hologram projected from deep within my brain? Anything seemed more believable than my friends being here, now. Peculiars had a way of making anything seem possible, but a visit from them was one of the few impossibilities of which I could still be certain. It had been my choice to leave Devils Acre. To go home again, where my friends couldnt follow. I had hoped that in returning I might sew together the disparate threads of my life: the normal and the peculiar, the ordinary and the extraordinary. Another impossibility. My grandfather had tried to sew his lives together too and failed, estranged in the end from both his peculiar family and his normal one. In refusing to choose one kind of life over the other, he had doomed himself to lose both--just as I was about to. I looked up to see a figure moving toward us through the clearing dust. "Who the hell are you?" my dad said. "Alma LeFay Peregrine," she replied, "Ymbryne Council leader pro tem and headmistress to these peculiar children. Weve met before, though I dont expect youd remember. Children, say hello." Chapter One Its strange, what the mind can digest and what it resists. I had just survived the most surreal summer Details ISBN0735231494 Author Ransom Riggs Pages 496 Series Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children Language English Year 2019 ISBN-10 0735231494 ISBN-13 9780735231498 Format Paperback Series Number 4 Audience Age 12 Country of Publication United States Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified AU Release Date 2019-10-15 NZ Release Date 2019-10-15 US Release Date 2019-10-15 UK Release Date 1900-01-01 Publisher Dutton Books for Young Readers Publication Date 2019-10-15 Imprint Dutton Books for Young Readers Replaces 9780735231566 DEWEY FIC Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
