The children are in rowboats, running away. This second book starts more or less at the same time where the first one ended. When they were forced out, Jacob and his friends ended up in the 1940s and were on the run from monsters who wanted to eat children with magical peculiarities.
During his time with these children, Jacob formed a close bond with them, specifically a girl named Emma. Unfortunately, soon after Jacob’s arrival, the children who were living on the island were driven out of their home and their keeper, Miss Peregrine, was forced into her bird form. (Some examples of peculiarity include having control over fire and being invisible) These children were protected by women who could turn into birds. These children were hiding from the rest of the world because they all possessed a peculiarity that made life outside dangerous for them. Upon his grandfather’s death, he went to the island where the stories were based and discovered a hidden world, one full of children who had been living sheltered in a time loop for decades. In Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, the first book of the series, Jacob discovered that the fantastic stories his grandfather told him were all true. Marshmallow’s Summary (with Spoilers): Jacob Portman is peculiar.
