comment |
For years, Jacob had delighted at his grandfather's tales of growing up during World War II in an orphanage run by Miss Peregrine and populated by children like himself. Well, not quite like himself. These children were peculiar. Very peculiar.Today, Jacob is 16 and has outgrown these silly fairy stories… but when his grandfather is killed under strange circumstances, Jacob has only his grandfather's stories and a collection of strange photographs to follow as he finds himself delving deeper into his grandfather's past, where he learns that these silly fairy stories are neither silly nor fiction… and the peculiar children his grandfather spoke of might still be alive…Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is Ransom Riggs's debut novel, and mixes real antique snapshots with a haunting narrative to paint a world where peculiar children might conceivably exist. Initial trilogy Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Hollow City Library of Souls New trilogy A Map of Days (Released in 2018) The Conference of the Birds (Released in 2020) The Desolations of Devil's Acre (Released in 2021)A film adaptation of the first book, directed by Tim Burton, was released on September 30th 2016.

| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_2022e66d |
comment |
Invasion of the Baby Snatchers: A sinister group of once-human monsters stalk a group of children with the intention of either experimenting on them or eating them. The more human ones have infiltrated pretty much every strata of human society that could help them, while the more abominable ones are super strong, high endurance giants that are invisible. Even if they knew what was going on, odds are Jacob's parents would be all but powerless to protect him. |

Island of Mystery: Cairnholm—it's got quasi-time travel, and an Extranormal Institute… as well as the less-than-glamorous trappings of a small remote Welsh island. Subverted in that it's far from the only loop, but it brings Jacob into the story. |

comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: Jacob's father, Franklin, and his aunt, Susie, always thought that their father was cheating on their mother with another woman because they found letters addressed to him from a woman who called herself "E." It turned out to be Emma, and he wasn't cheating on his wife with her, having already broken off his relationship with her, even though she continued to pine for him. |

Silver Spoon Troublemaker: Jacob starts out like this. He's the heir to his mother's family's chain of successful stores and is currently working part time as a low level employee at one. He despises his job, however, and constantly messes up on purpose, much to the annoyance of his manager. Naturally, said manager knows if she fires Jacob, she'll most probably lose her job soon after, so she has no choice but to tolerate his behavior (despite him actually hoping she'd fire). |

Humans Are Bastards: Subverted. While normals in general do pose a real threat to peculiars, there are a number of examples of them being helpful. It is even implied that the governments of some nations are aware of the peculiars' existence and have cooperated with them to some extent in the past. Conversely, there are also instances of peculiars being cruel to normals. |

Deus ex Machina: In the first book, it's set up that the peculiar children, who've been living in a this loop for near a century, cannot leave it, or they will age forward and die. This creates a difficult situation for Jacob and Emma. But come Library of Souls, a plot device has reset the ages of everyone involved to match their bodies, and it's hand waved away. |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In The Conference of the Birds, Jacob comments upon his and Noor's arrival in Miss V's loop that he'd imagined something more welcoming waiting for them. He says that just once he'd like to see something such as a nice shade-dappled glen in a forest, "Just once, something like the portals in kids' books." |

comment |
Advertised Extra: The girls in the pictures on the cover of the novels fit this trope to different extents. This seems to be a bit of an Enforced Trope; their characters correspond with particularly striking photographs: Subverted with Olive, on the first book's cover. She's not on the same level of plot-relevance as Jacob or Emma, sure, but she's one of the most talkative and genuinely helpful members of the supporting peculiar cast. She also becomes more relevant in the second book. Sam, the girl on Hollow City's cover, plays this completely straight, showing up for a single chapter that borders on a Shoot the Shaggy Dog/Bizarro Episode, as she has no relevance on anything before and is outright said to be a peculiar who was never saved and died during the Blitz. The boy on the cover of Library of Souls doesn't actually appear in the book but was used as a propaganda poster by the Claywings. The girl on the cover of The Conference of the Birds does not appear until the very end and is unnamed. The following book reveals her name to be Sophie. The girl on the cover of The Desolations of Devil's Acre only appears on one page, has no lines and is unnamed. |

Happy Ending Override: The ending of Library of Souls makes it seem as if Jacob and Emma will live out the rest of their lives together. A Map of Days makes it clear that Emma still has feelings for Jacob's grandfather Abe. This complicates the relationship to the point that they eventually break up and Jacob meets a new love interest named Noor. In The Conference of the Birds, Jacob and Emma decide that they are better off as friends. Also, it turns out that Caul, the primary antagonist of the series, was only temporarily defeated and the second trilogy revolves around his return. |

Our Time Travel Is Different |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_56698261 |
comment |
Our Time Travel Is Different: In order to keep the children safe, Miss Peregrine has hidden them away in a little pocket of time where it has been September 3rd, 1940 ever since… September 3rd, 1940. Because the loop was formed under duress, she must make sure the time resets just before a German bomb falls on the Home, and the children have not aged since that day, though they remember each iteration of the day. It is mentioned that other ymbrynes have created similar time loops as refuges for other groups of peculiars. |

comment |
Punny Name: Several of the peculiars have puns in their first or last names relating to their unique abilities. Millard Nullings is invisible, therefore his appearance is null. Bronwyn Bruntley is all brawn and can take the brunt of any heavy object. Hugh Apiston hosts bees inside his body, making him a living apiary. Claire Densmore has a backmouth, meaning she has more teeth...which is dens in Latin. Horace Somnusson has prophetic dreams, and "somn" is a Latin root for "sleep". His name may also be based on "horoscope". |

Enforced Trope |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_6d740dff |
comment |
The girls in the pictures on the cover of the novels fit this trope to different extents. This seems to be a bit of an Enforced Trope; their characters correspond with particularly striking photographs: |

| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_723be11b |
comment |
Villain Has a Point: Caul and his followers object to the fact that peculiars have been persecuted by normals for centuries without fighting back, or even banding together to form their own society on a large scale. They also call out the ymbrynes' loop system for having no ultimate long-term plan. |

The Tunguska Event: Comes up as a plot point. It was apparently caused by the attempt of renegade peculiars and their allies to gain eternal youth without being confined to loops, utilizing the site of a long-disused time loop in the Siberian tundra for their experiment. |

Cthulhumanoid: Hollows, with emphasis on the "Cthulhu" part. They've got a roughly humanoid frame, but their mass of Combat Tentacle tongues are so much stronger and longer than their limbs that they use them as substitutes for their arms and legs, which are functionally vestigial. |

comment |
There Are No Therapists: Averted in the first book, where they're used for plot reasons instead. When Jacob is traumatized and having nightmares, his parents send him to a competent, professional, realistic-sounding therapist to deal with the grief and trauma. Too bad the therapist is a wight using Jacob for leads about the Cairnholm loop. When Jacob returns home at the end of the series, his parents put him back in therapy, which now fails because he knows his impossible experiences are entirely real. |

Took a Level in Badass |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_9bcd82c0 |
comment |
Took a Level in Badass: A lot of the peculiar children in Hollow City, once they start using their abilities to fight the hollowghasts and the wights. Special mention goes to: Emma, for burning a hollowghast's tongue off. Hugh, for summoning an army of bees to kill the wights that had taken the others captive. Jacob, whose ability develops over the course of the story to not only seeing the hollowghast, but also being able to sense them, speak their language, and ultimately control them. An interesting inversion of this trope occurs with the hollowghasts. When they "level up" into wights, they actually become less powerful, losing their massive strength and invisibility. They still view this as a plus, however, because becoming a wight allows them to pass as human and (in their view, at least) be one step closer to the possibility of becoming immortal. |

Foreshadowing |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_9d12bbc1 |
comment |
Foreshadowing: Jacob first manages near-total control over a hollowgast after spending an entire night's sleep communicating with it subconsciously. The trick to taking control over the entire herd of them is falling into a coma along with them. Also, the crazy old man in Library of Souls counts big-time. He says seemingly nonsense about dust-mothers (Mother Dust, without whom Jacob would've died in Abaton.), damned librarians (could be seen as Jacob, or even better, Abe (or Abe's soul), in Abe's case stolen by Bentham), and blessed cartographers (Perplexus Anomalous). |

comment |
Healing Factor: Sam, who can have entire chunks of her body completely torn apart without even a little bit of bleeding, and the wound completely heals up within a day or so. Millard believes that since she never lived in a loop, and such a profoundly powerful ability would have made her famous among peculiars, that she eventually took a wound she couldn't recover from during the Blitz and died. A foolish sport fighter in the third book also demonstrates accelerated healing, but his arrogance toward the hollow he's facing off against serves him poorly. |

Lighter and Softer: The first book really leans into the fucked up aspects of the story. Jacob is attracted to Emma, but he's also skeeved out by being a Replacement Goldfish for his late grandfather's ex. It dwells on the messy family dynamics between Jacob, Frank, and Abraham. The main conflict is not the Character-vs-Character conflict with wrights; it's a Character-vs-Nature conflict with the magical properties of the loop. Miss Peregrine's wards cannot leave without rapidly aging. It's awful, but it's just how it functions and railing against it is about as effective as railing against gravity. In the later books this becomes increasingly not the case. Library of Souls romanticizes Jacob and Emma's relationship and handwaves the loop aging thing. |

You Can't Go Home Again: Before Jacob joins the other peculiars on their journey at the end of the first book, Emma warns him that the time loop will close once they leave it, and it will be very difficult for Jacob to return to his own time again, if he even can. He nonetheless agrees to go with them after going back to say goodbye to his father. |

No Immortal Inertia: If a child leaves the loop for too long, time will catch up to them and they will rapidly age, to grisly effect. When the ymbrynes destroy the titular loop at the end of the third book, the rule is subverted. Each person's age is reset to their loop age, allowing them to age forward at a normal speed when taken out, though this only seems to apply to the group present at the closing. |

Animal Motifs |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_e2ccee25 |
comment |
Animal Motifs: Birds, of course. Miss Peregrine and all of the other ymbrines are named after different bird species, and Jacob's dad is a birdwatcher. |

Only a Flesh Wound |

comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Sam reacts this way to being impaled. Apparently, it's happened before. Millard thinks that in the end, she suffered a wound too severe to shrug off. |

Soul-Sucking Retail Job |
| | Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children / int_edd102ba |
comment |
Soul-Sucking Retail Job: Jacob is stuck working in a grocery store at the beginning of the story, and he desperately wants out, but his family owns the business and turns a blind eye to his attempts to get fired. He gets out of it after his grandfather dies, with the idea that his "only job was getting better". |

The Shadow Knows |

comment |
The Shadow Knows: A hollow is invisible to common people until it's about to eat. (Read: "Until it's too late") However, its shadow is always visible. |
