A new chapter will soon begin in Ransom Riggs’ career . . . more peculiar children!

Curious minds want to know: Yes, Ransom Riggs will begin a new chapter in his life by continuing the story of Jacob, Emma, and other peculiar children in a brand new trilogy. His collection of short stories set in the same universe will be releasing in paperback on Halloween, making the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children Boxed Set (Quirk Books, $33.97), the best way for fans of YA fantasy to join the adventure from the beginning.
The box set contains all three paperbacks, packaged in a beautifully designed slipcase, along with a special collectible postcard, highlighting the most memorable characters of this extraordinary three-volume fantasy. Santa will probably place many sets under gaily-decorated trees.

Together in paperback for the first time, the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children Boxed Set includes the bestseller Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children—recently made into a motion picture from visionary director Tim Burton—and its two sequels, Hollow City and Library of Souls. All three paperbacks are packaged in a beautifully designed slipcase. Also included is a special collectible postcard, highlighting the most memorable characters of this extraordinary three-volume fantasy.

About the Books:

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in this groundbreaking novel, which mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling new kind of reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob Portman journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

Hollow City: September 3, 1940. Ten peculiar children flee an army of deadly monsters. And only one person can help them—but she’s trapped in the body of a bird. The extraordinary adventure continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner.

Library of Souls: A boy, a girl, and a talking dog. They’re all that stands between the sinister wights and the future of peculiar children everywhere. Jacob Portman ventures through history one last time to rescue the peculiar children from a heavily guarded fortress. He’s joined by girlfriend and firestarter Emma Bloom, canine companion Addison MacHenry, and some very unexpected allies.
