This week I have been reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but not as avidly as I have in the past few weeks. I am now reaching the climax and I am panicking. There is only about twenty pages left and it is not looking good for Miss Peregrine. Hollows have taken some of the other ymbrynes and now a wight took Miss Peregrine and Miss Avocet in their bird forms. The peculiars are trying their hardest to get them back but in the midst of an attack by a U boat, but it is proving very difficult. The detail from Riggs during this part has made me feel like I was there so much that I swore I could hear the guns firing.
As chaos falls upon the peculiars and their life, you can see how tightly knit of a family they actually are. The moment they were able to get to Miss Peregrine, they organized a plan and executed it to the best of their ability. Not only has Riggs made it apparent that the kids really do love Miss Peregrine no matter how much they complain about her, but also how close Emma and Jacob have gotten over the short time Jacob was on the island. I really like Jacob and Emma's relationship because you can tell they mean a lot to each other but they are also good at accepting that they are both stubborn and brave, unlike in a lot of books where the couple tries to protect each other and argues for a longer time than it takes to get the action done. Overall, this book has been intriguing and descriptive, with the likable characters and use of pictures bringing it all together.
