Miss Peregrine's Museum of Wonders: An Indispensable Guide to the Dangers and Delights of the Peculiar World for the Instruction of New Arrivals (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)

Product Information

As such it does not read linearly but rather as a series of articles covering a wide range of topics. This is a book that really needs to be read in tandem with the 6 books since many references (especially to certain people) do not really achieve their true impact otherwise. I loved it, especially those old photos that are included in here, as in every other book from this series. Written in Miss Peregrine's inimitable style, it's also a dramatic expansion of the universe fans have already come to love. However, the add-on books (peculiar Tales and this book) that have come out in recent years have been pretty fun.

Written in Miss Peregrine's inimitable style, it's also a dramatic expansion of the universe fans have already come to love, introducing countless new peculiars, enemies, time loops, stories, and secrets, in addition to hundreds of never-before-seen vintage found photographs and select illustrations. I’d only recommend for diehard fans of the Peculiar Children series, and probably wouldn’t have gone out of my way to read it myself if I hadn’t happened upon it at the library while grabbing the other books. Some of my other favorite parts (though they were brief) were the pages mentioning famous peculiars that include some famous people from the real world, as well as the section that describes why photographs are so important to peculiars. If you have already read the series and want a fun fast read to just dip a toe back in this world and get some more fun old timey photos in the process, this is FOR YOU. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

This is a very detailed and fascinating guide into the peculiar world of the “Miss Peregrine” series that I have devoured from page to page. Gloriously rich and utterly delightful, Miss Peregrine’s Museum of Wonders is an indispensable guide to the peculiar world, perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike.

I have loved writing stories and taking photographs and making movies ever since, and have endeavored to do all three. That being said, there is no real story here it is just more lore and peculiar world building so if you have not already read the Miss Peregrine’s series do NOT start here because there will be spoilers for the larger series, and you won’t have a connection to the characters and so the fun footnotes from Miss Peregrine will lose much of their charm. It somewhat feels like this book was written as a way for Ransom Riggs to have people see more of his antique photographs that he’s collected, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing since I know a lot of people fell in love with the Miss Peregrine’s series because of the antique photos. it doesn't have a plot or story, but rather explains everything that has to do with the peculiar universe. I found this little novella quite wonderful and informative if you're a fan of the world that Ransom Riggs has created.As other people have pointed out in their reviews, you shouldn’t read this book until after you’ve finished reading the main six books in the Miss Peregrine’s series as this one contains some spoilers for the main series. Miss Peregrine’s Museum of Wonders can easily be read as a standalone or an introduction to the peculiar world …. With this book, the guidebook provides information to peculiars who’ve just discovered that they are a part of the peculiar world.
