"Do you ever find yourself climbing into an open grave during a bombing raid," I said, "and just wish you'd stayed in bed?" The second book in the series, Hollow City starts exactly where the first book leaves off: the children crossing the water in boats with their injured headmistress, heading away from the island and the monsters pursuing them. On the mainland things don’t get any easier for them. With Hollows and Wights hot on their heels, the children determinedly find and explore other time loops in search of someone to help them save their beloved Miss Peregrine, meeting new peculiars (including peculiar animals) along the way.
