Book Summary

Jacob Portman's life takes a strange turn after his grandfather's mysterious death, which Jacob believes is linked to the fantastical stories Abe used to tell him about children with unusual abilities. Following clues, Jacob travels to a remote Welsh island where he discovers the ruins of an old orphanage. There, he steps into a time loop and finds Miss Peregrine's Home, a sanctuary where peculiar children live safely hidden from the outside world and dangerous monsters called hollowgasts and wights.
