I had tried reading the first book of the miss peregrine's home for peculiar children series after watching the movie adaptation and having heard they swapped Olive & Emma's peculiarities but for some reason just couldn't. Found this to be a good read though as it's a glimpse into that same universe/world as it builds upon the original world building. Only story that I didn't really care for was the boy who bottled the sun. Think my favorite would be the girl who could tame nightmares.
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Fire/Fire injury
