Tales of the Peculiar by Ransome Riggs

This week I am excited to be reading a new book in the Miss Peregrine Series. It is called Tales of the Peculiar by Ransome Riggs. I have really enjoyed this series because it is jam-packed full of action, adventure and suspense. Although I have not read very much of this book, I can already see that this book is different to the others. The series is about an extraordinary group of children who each have peculiar talents and traits. For example, Emma can light a fire with her hands, Olive is lighter than air, Millard is invisible and Jacob can see the dreaded Hollowgasts. The children are protected by the watchful Miss Peregrine, but get into some real trouble in the series as they fight for survival against the evil Hollows.

This new book has been written as an extension of the series to explain some of the folklore surrounding the world of peculiarity. From what I can gather so far, this new book is a collection of stories that explains the existence and history of the peculiar people of the world. After scanning through the contents page, I cannot wait to read about ‘The First Ymbryne’,’The Girl who Could Tame Nightmares’ and ‘The Man who Bottled the Sun’, to name a few. I am expecting these stories to be full of surprise and excitement.
