Book Of The Week Wednesday! Hollow City

Hollow City

By: Ransom Riggs

(Second book to Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children)

 

Hollow City is the sequel to the novel Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I have a post about it Here if you haven't read it already.

 

Hollow City is about Jacob and his peculiar friends trying to get to London to save their headmistress, Miss Peregrine from staying a bird forever. They have to survive all kinds of dangers including bombs, hollows, and wights.

 

 

Here are some of the characters in this book.

 

My favorite characters are Millard, Hugh, and Bronwyn.

Millard is invisible, Hugh has bees living in his stomach that he can control, and Bronwyn is extremely strong but also very caring.

 

Here are some more peculiar characters.

 

 

 

 

Hollow City made me feel like I was reading multiple books because the children go to many different places and have mini adventures in their journey to London. I really liked this book. I thought it was really good and I loved the ending. It has a really good twist close to the end of the book. (I love twists!) I don't like Jacob or Emma though. I feel like they think that Jacob is the coolest person ever just because he can see hollows and is lucky enough to kill them sometimes. (WITH the help of the other peculiar children.) I like that they can work together and help each other out with their different peculiarities. I don't like Emma because she's pretty much leading Jacob on. She was also Jacob's grandfather's love interest for a while. (Sloppy seconds from your grandpa doesn't sound too good.) But she wants Jacob to stay and then she wants him to leave, she needs to make up her mind. Jacob only stayed because of her but she just gives him mixed signals. Miss Peregrine was also making me mad but you'll understand when you read the book.

 

*If you've read the first one you'll probably read this one too! There is also a 3rd book on the way and a movie! I've read that they are going to turn Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children into a movie, which will be directed by the amazing Tim Burton! I'm curious to see how they will do everything. IMDB says that the movie will come out July 2015 in the USA. Mark your calendars!*
