The Desolations of Devil's Acre (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #6) by Ransom Riggs


The fate of peculiardom hangs in the balance in this epic conclusion to the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.

The last thing Jacob Portman saw before the world went dark was a terrible, familiar face.

Suddenly, he and Noor are back in the place where everything began - his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how they escaped from V's loop to find themselves in Florida. But he does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned.

After a narrow getaway from a blood-thirsty hollow, Jacob and Noor reunite with Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children in Devil's Acre. The Acre is being plagued by desolations - weather fronts of ash and blood and bone - a terrible portent of Caul's amassing army.

Risen from the Library of Souls and more powerful than ever, Caul and his apocalyptic agenda seem unstoppable. Only one hope remains - deliver Noor to the meeting place of the seven prophesied ones. If they can decipher its secret location.


This book is the final book in the Peculiar Children series.  When I found out about this book I immediately put a hold on it from my local library.  As I started to read it, it took me a little bit to figure out where it was starting from because it had been a while since I had read the previous book.   But I love how the author writes these books because you can imagine it so vividly that the characters seem to be roleplaying in my mind.  The book was quite long and due to working & being a Mom full time I did have to renew it a time or two just to get through it.  But I did like this book and how it came to an end.  It was a very well thought out series and the characters were awesome.  I highly recommend this book to a teenager or young adult looking for a different and adventurous reading series.  I give this book 5 stars.
