Les dix enfants particuliers sont désemparés : Miss Peregrine, changée en oiseau, est prisonnière de son état, suite à l'attaque des Estres, des âmes damnées. Ils n'ont plus qu'un espoir : trouver une Ombrune susceptible de redonner à la directrice de l'orphelinat sa forme humaine. Le petit groupe d'enfants échoue sur une rive de Grande-Bretagne, en 1940, alors que la Seconde Guerre mondiale fait rage. Aussitôt pris en chasse par des Estres déguisés en soldats, ils se réfugient in extremis dans une boucle temporelle.

This second novel in the Miss Peregine's Home for Peculiar Children series 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.

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets 16-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
