(HS LRC) November Book of the Month - Library of Souls

"It had become one of the defining truths of my life that, no matter how I tried to keep them flattened, two-dimensional, jailed in paper and ink, there would always be stories that refused to stay bound inside books. It was never just a story.”

Library of Souls is the exciting sequel to 2014 novel Hollow City written by Ransom Riggs and the third book in the series of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The New York Times #1 bestseller was released on September 22, 2015. The new action-packed adventure with absolutely no breathing room features more than 50 all-new peculiar photographs.

Even with a new purpose established at the end of the second installment, one must become a little tired of the peculiar children always being on the run. They barely seem to have time to catch their breath.

Time is running out for them though. With a dangerous madman on the loose and their beloved Miss Peregrine still in danger, Jacob Portman and Emma Bloom are forced to stage the most daring of rescue missions.

They’ll travel through a war-torn landscape, meet new allies, and face greater dangers than ever... Will the sixteen-year-old come into his own as the hero his fellow Peculiars know him to be?

Watch some truths and the answers to your questions unfold in an epic real-world battle for the future of peculiardom. Don't worry, the future is so bright... you're gonna need some serious sunglasses. It's quite the perfectly satisfying ending for an incredibly unique trilogy that'll make you miss the characters, want to revisit the books from the very first one when it's finally over, and maybe even look forward to seeing how the rest of the series translates onto the big screen. If that's not enough, there are reviewers who have deemed it their favorite book of 2015 and the most imaginative of the entire trilogy. #StayPeculiar

“Maybe," she said. "Maybe. But now you're making promises you might not be able to keep, and that's how people in love get very badly hurt.”
