Jacob Portman has discovered a mysterious set of photographs that show paranormal events.  All of the clues point to an abandoned orphanage on spooky Welsh Island.  Can Jacob solve the mystery before it's too late?


Set in the mysterious fog swept Welsh coast, the abandoned orphanage holds many secrets. Jacob meets the inhabitants, who are living in a time loop to hide their unusual abilities.  Emma can control fire.  Brownwyn has telekinesis.  They must band together to solve the mystery of what happened to Jacobs grandfather, and rescue Miss Peregrine before it's too late.


Abby T. Age 13 raves "The photographs in this book will freak you out.  Don't read it when you are alone in the house."
