About this deal

I love a good guidebook as much as anyone who’s as obsessed with world building as I am, and this one was really fun! Thank you so much Goodreads and Ransom Riggs for the hardcover copy of Miss Peregrine's Museum of Wonders! A gloriously rich and utterly delightful handbook perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike, covering everything from how to blend in with suspicious normals to the most popular time loops to visit as a temporal tourist. However, the add-on books (peculiar Tales and this book) that have come out in recent years have been pretty fun. There was all of the nitty gritty details I love about world building (and had wanted a bit more about in the actual series) in this book, so if you enjoyed the series at least a little bit and are a fan of world building, I’d encourage checking this out.

But I loved reading the lore and information about the world simply because I love world building, and the structure of this one made it especially entertaining.

With this book, the guidebook provides information to peculiars who’ve just discovered that they are a part of the peculiar world. Brought me back into the wonderful and inspiring world of the peculiar through the intellectual and witty writtings of Mrs. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Covering everything from how to blend in with suspicious normals to the most popular time loops to visit as a temporal tourist, this essential compilation is ideal for anyone curious about the world of Miss Peregrine: its strange history, curious practices, fascinating places, most famous (and infamous) names, and much more. that being said, I sadly really struggled with the style of writing in this one, simply because it reminded me of a textbook.

Written in Miss Peregrine's inimitable style, it's also a dramatic expansion of the universe fans have already come to love. The peculiar world is so vast and complex that I could easily imagine Ransom Riggs writing peculiar short story collections in the future that revolve around characters like Gloria. It is perfect for people who are very familiar with the series and want to check back in with the world.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 found this little novella quite wonderful and informative if you're a fan of the world that Ransom Riggs has created.

I loved the Miss Peregrine's series and often felt that each sequel was like coming back to old friends and while this isn't quite the same, it delved back into that peculiar world and gave us MORE peculiar characters, people, places, et cetera. This book is for the true fan - as the title suggests this is a hand book to the Peculiar world and as such is a collection of articles and guides written to help guide the newly found Peculiar in to that world.This book is very ‘pick-up-able,’ and unlike with the main series, no prior context is needed to read it.

Some sections felt like I was forcing myself to read it for school while other sections were so enjoyable that I wish they would’ve been longer. 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. There is a lot of lore found such as the type of peculiars we’ve seen in the series, how they lived and there are even some personal stories and interesting facts. This book doesn’t provide too much new information and it doesn’t add on to the plot of the main series.

I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. 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 always love when a series releases a sort of guide to the world and some parts of it, so this was perfect for me. 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.
