Jacob Portman’s life changed the night his Grandfather died-little did he know his world was about to also change and not for the better.

For Jacob’s father, this trip is a chance to catch up on his passion of bird watching. For Jacob, this is the opportunity to find the answers about his Grandfather’s past and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
