Hollow City
The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children
from Quirk Books:
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was
the surprise best seller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and
vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike.
Publishers Weekly called it “an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished
by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very
creepy monsters.”
This second novel 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 unexpected surprises.
Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly mesmerizing) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight readers of all ages.

Ooooh when is this slanted for release? I have been waiting for this one for a while as I rather enjoyed the first novel. I hadn't realised the writer was turning it into a series until I started looking the author up after I finished reading the first book.
