Hollow City ( 396 Pages)

Ransom Riggs is the author of book two of his Peculiar Children series. It is set in London over a  three day period in September, 1940 (World War II). Jacob Portman continues to be the voice in this book. The ten children spend much of the book trying to safely make their way towards London where they hope to get some help for their beloved Miss Peregrine. They encounter adult peculiars, murderous wights, and stinking hollows, who are sort of like octopuses, that are also trying to kill them. The book includes wonderful photographs of the various characters as did the first book. If your students enjoyed book one, they will also enjoy this one, and will look forward to a soon to be published book three!
