A very odd, yet curious companion novel to Riggs’ Peculiar Children series. This book transported readers back into this world once more for background information and details never shared before. Reading like a guide for new arrivals in the peculiar world, from learning about famous peculiar children, the evils that they run from, the loops that they live in and how to act like a normal, when they very much aren’t, was a lot of fun to read. The way Riggs set the photos with his writing was so captivating and believable, that he has his readers on their toes wanting to conceive that what he’s written is fact and not fiction. This was so fast-paced, too. It was so easy to get lost in the words and the stories. Not only were the photos a great complement to the stories, but there were some illustrations that made this so beautiful to look at. For the most part, the reader enjoyed reading all of the chapters and thought they were told in a great order; the only thing this reader didn’t really care for was the addition of the peculiar language that is apparently spoken by peculiar children. This reader doesn’t remember them ever having a language so it felt like that section came out of left field. Otherwise, this was a really well put together book, full of wonders and fascinations. This is definitely for readers who adored the series; this was a great way to be back without doing a complete re-read of all the books.

I will read anything written by this author Ransom Riggs, He is a wonderful writer when it comes to the peculiar children. I love how this book dives into the peculiar history and shows us which each one is like and their qualities and what they do.
I love learning about their incredible world that they live in and have.
Very detailed and specific, this book is broken up like a textbook and it was amazing.
Gives you an overview of the 5 books and tells you about the different peculiars.
If you haven't read his book yet you definitely should they are so good.

I will take any and all things Peculiardom from Ransom Riggs. I just love how he put this book together and all the little notes in the book from Miss Peregrine. Just very well done.
