Een mysterieus eiland. Een verlaten weeshuis. Een vreemde verzameling foto's. Als kind had Jacob al een speciale band met zijn opa Abraham. Die vertelde zijn kleinzoon bizarre verhalen over zijn jeugd in een weeshuis voor bijzondere kinderen. Opa illustreerde zijn verhalen met oude, echt uitziende foto's. Jaren later komt de oude Abraham op een gewelddadige manier aan zijn eind. De inmiddels zestienjarige Jacob reist naar een afgelegen eiland voor de kust van Wales, waar hij de ruïne vindt van het tehuis waar zijn opa gewoond heeft. Als Jacob het huis verkent, blijkt dat de jeugdvrienden van Abraham meer dan bijzonder waren. Misschien was er wel een goede reden om hen in afzondering op het eiland te laten wonen. En misschien leven ze nog steeds ... Wat volgt is afwisselend wonderbaarlijk, aandoenlijk en huiveringwekkend.

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.

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.
