I'm a huge fan of the Peculiar Children book so was really looking forward to reading these stories. The book is aimed more at children or a young age-group but if you're a fan of the series you'll enjoy these. Each story focuses on a different Peculiar in history and their life, experiences and strange abilities. I really loved The First Ymbryne which reveals how Miss Peregrine and co came about and how the loops the Peculiar's live in came about. The Pigeons of Saint Paul's and The Boy Who Could Hold Back The Sea are also stand-out stories. Now I can't wait to read the final book in the series.
