Though the wights were defeated in Library of Souls (2015), there is much work to be done to rebuild the peculiar world. Prime among these tasks is learning to blend in with normals, so Miss Peregrine and her crew have come to Jacob, in modern-day Florida, for lessons. These have barely begun when they stumble upon a secret bunker in Abe's old house, filled with information about his career hunting hollows in America. This sparks an unshakable desire in Jacob to follow in his grandfather's footsteps, catapulting his clandestine mission to save Noor, a powerful peculiar teen, with Emma, Millard, Enoch, and Bronwyn. Peculiar America has a Wild West flavor, ruled by gangs and lawlessness. Danger dogs their heels as they follow clues to Noor and travel through time loops where racism and prejudice still reign. Riggs reinvigorates his best-selling series, expanding the peculiar world and history, while drawing parallels to contemporary hot-button issues. As always, old photos add atmosphere (and some color this time), and the tease of a prophecy will have readers on tenterhooks. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: This series is a big deal! Get a bunker's worth.--Julia Smith Copyright 2018 Booklist
