An army of deadly monsters. An epic battle for the future of peculiardom. <p/> The adventure that began with <i>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children</i> and continued in <i>Hollow City</i> comes to a thrilling conclusion with <i>Library of Souls</i>. As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he's diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children. <p/> They'll travel from modern-day London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devil's Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England. It's a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Oh, my birds, I love this book!
