Jake, Emma, Miss Peregrine and the children journey to seek a happy time loop. According to Deborah Netburn for the Los Angeles Times, the best part of the novel is "a series of black-and-white photos sprinkled throughout the book". Publishers Weekly called the book "an enjoyable, eccentric read distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters." Dr. Jeff Golan — Dr. Golan was one of the many peculiars who supported and participated in the disastrous experiment that created the hollowgast. An ymbryne (pronounced IMM-brinn) is a specific kind of female peculiar who can transform into distinct birds, control and manipulate time as she sees fit, and govern the peculiar world.
She is a delicate woman who enjoys smoking a pipe and adores her charges, though she can be strict at times. At a very young age, she learned to hone her peculiarity as a student under Miss Avocet. Miss Peregrine's loop is located on the fictional island of Cairnholm, Wales, on September 3, 1940, though it's actually September 2 for the first few hours. Victor Bruntley — Miss Peregrine once had many more peculiars under her care, many of whom were killed by the hollowgast, including Bronwyn's older brother Victor.

She is lighter than air and must always wear lead shoes or a tether to keep from floating away. Emma is also Abe's former love interest in the 1940s and Jake's current love interest. Judi Dench as Miss Esmeralda Avocet, the Ymbryne headmistress of another shelter for Peculiar Children in Blackpool.

Miss Janet Nightjar — Miss Nightjar takes in difficult cases of peculiars. Miss Nightjar's loop is in Swansea, Wales on April 3, 1901, and is co-run by Miss Thrush. Millard Nullings — Millard is a young adolescent possessing the peculiarity of invisibility which is said to be quite uncommon. He chooses to go about nude to stay fully invisible, but wears clothes at supper on Miss Peregrine's orders. He is also exceptionally well-versed in all things peculiar and, as a hobby, spends much of his time documenting every little detail of the day they live in. Rather than a movie set, the house where the children live is an actual house.
About the Author
Martin plays an unwitting but vital role in discovering Malthus and Dr. Golan on the island. Miss Dawn Finch — Miss Finch has an aunt who is also an ymbryne but prefers to stay in finch form. Olive Abroholos Elephanta — Olive is the second youngest to Claire and comes across as quite giddy and openly friendly. Her peculiarity renders her lighter than air, making her float freely like a balloon.
Jacob is also at odds with his father over his attachment to Grandpa Portman, likely because of the difference between Grandpa Portman’s relationship with his grandson versus with his own son. They devote the next day to scouting out the island, but when his father wants to stop for a while at a particular spot to watch birds, Jacob goes back to town to find someone to take him to the abandoned house. He asks Kev, the owner of Priest Hole, and Kev sends the fishmonger, Dylan, with him, along with his friend Worm.

Oggie — Oggie is Martin's uncle, whom he introduces to Jacob in order to help him learn more about the fallen children's home. Elderly and gruff but still sharp of wit, Oggie recalls the strange children and their reclusive headmistress and recounts the bombing in detail, occasionally veering off into rants on the weather and politics. Though he longed to fight for his country, he was too young then and merely watched it all take place.
Expectations were high when "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" first came out in theaters. Miss Peregrine tries to answer as many of Jacob's questions as she can. She explains the difference between coerlfolc, or common people, and the hidden syndrigast, or peculiar spirit. The abandoned children’s home itself is a physical representation of Jacob’s deceased grandfather. Just like Grandpa Portman, the house is full of secrets and stories it is no longer able to tell. The house has left clues, just like his grandfather, but right now Jacob is unable to find them.
The police conclude that a pack of wild dogs killed Grandpa Portman. Jacob’s parents send him to a psychiatrist, Dr. Golan, who convinces him that the creature he saw was a product of his imagination, a result of the trauma of his grandfather’s death. He still suffers nightmares, and Dr. Golan keeps writing him prescriptions. Based on a children’s book by Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was filmed in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Florida. The 2016 Tim Burton fantastic movie traveled to a mixture of locations and had a real house to picture the wondrous foundling home and the Welsh island of Cairnholm.
Because of this, peculiars refer to these evolved creatures as wights. They possess no extraordinary abilities but are highly skilled in posing as normal people under multiple identities and can even pass into time loops. Much of their existence revolves around procuring peculiars for remaining hollows to devour.
For their own protection, peculiars typically live apart from the rest of society and more importantly they live outside of time. A peculiar living within a loop experiences the same day over and over, but they retain their memories with each reset. Unlike a number of works by Burton, the film is not based on his own original idea. … Obviously, there aren’t really people like this in the world, so there’s no real home for them, but the idea for the story still came from the real world. The inspiration for the book came from Riggs’ collection of vintage photographs. Barron had tried to extract the location of Ms. Peregrine's loop from Abe, but his hungry Hollow companion, Mr. Malthus, killed Abe before he could do so.
Enoch O'Connor — A young adolescent with the ability to resurrect the dead and bring inanimate objects to life for a limited time by using the extracted organs of other living things. Enoch was born to a family of undertakers and, before moving into time loops, caused tremendous confusion by frequently bringing the dead to life at his father's funeral parlor. He is the least liked of Miss Peregrine's wards as the others are put off by his selfish behavior, negative thinking, and obsession with violence. His previous ymbryne was never specified, nor were his reasons for relocating to Miss Peregrine's loop. He now travels with the restored Golan, devouring peculiars as they discover time loops. For reasons not specified, Golan allowed him to kill Abraham before they could learn the location of Miss Peregrine's loop.
