With enemies behind him and the unknown ahead, Jacob Portman’s story continues as he takes a brave leap forward into The Conference of the Birds, the fifth novel in the #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs.

With his dying words, H–Jacob Portman’s final connection to his grandfather Abe’s secret life entrusts Jacob with a mission: Deliver newly contacted peculiar Noor Pradesh to an operative known only as V. Noor is being hunted. She is the subject of an ancient prophecy, one that foretells a looming apocalypse. Save Noor–Save the future of all peculiardom.

With only a few bewildering clues to follow, Jacob must figure out how to find V, the most enigmatic, and most powerful, of Abe’s former associates. But V is in hiding and she never, ever, wants to be found.

“Boy, can Ransom Riggs tell a story. If he’d been stuck in rainy 1818 Switzerland with Lord Byron, and Mary and Percy Shelley and taken up Byron’s challenge to write a ghost story, Miss Peregrine would have given Frankenstein a run for its money.” –NPR.org

“A visually rich literary experience.” — New York Times Book Review

“[A] chilling, wondrous novel.” — People

“[A] thrilling, Tim Burton-esque tale with haunting photographs.” — USA Today

“Readers searching for the next Harry Potter may want to visit Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.” –CNN

“X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich eerie detail.” — Entertainment Weekly
