Sin saber bien cómo, Noor y él han vuelto al lugar donde empezó todo: la casa de sus abuelos. Jacob tiene algo claro: Caul ha regresado, y más fuerte que nunca. Junto a su imparable ejército, está destruyendo el Acre del Diablo, y eso no será más que el principio. Solo hay una esperanza: enviar a Noor al lugar donde han de encontrarse los elegidos de la profecía de los siete.

The instant New York Times bestseller from visionary storyteller Ransom Riggs! Weaving the familiar with the peculiar, this stunning tale of loss, triumph, friendship and magic, will remind readers everywhere that true heroes are made, not born—and when you’re never the chosen one, sometimes you have to choose yourself. Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just won’t leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max''s Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are. Not a good sign. In the blurry weeks after his mother’s death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help. Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, he’ll realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but it’s in grave danger. Certain he’s finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that he’s not the disappointment his father believes him to be. But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopold’s disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined. How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself? Welcome to Sunderworld.

Un démon ressuscité Une armée de cauchemars Une dernière bataille pour la liberté Alors que les ténèbres sont sur le point d''envahir le monde, Noor et Jacob se retrouvent à l''endroit où tout a commencé, la maison d''Abe Portman, en Floride. Ils n''ont aucun souvenir de la façon dont ils ont réussi à fuir la boucle de V, mais ils sont certains d''une chose : Caul est revenu. Après avoir échappé de justesse à un Creux sanguinaire, Jacob et Noor parviennent à rejoindre Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers à l''Arpent du Diable. Mais l''ancien quartier général des Estres est en proie à de terrifiantes désolations. Des pluies de cendres, de sang et d''os s''abattent sur la boucle, tel un terrible présage. Ressuscité de la Bibliothèque des âmes et plus puissant que jamais, le frère de Miss Peregrine et son armée cauchemardesque semblent invincibles... Il ne reste qu''un seul espoir : permettre à Noor de rejoindre les six autres élus afin d''accomplir la prophétie.

Poslední, co Jacob Portman viděl, než svět zčernal, byla děsivá, důvěrně známá tvář. Najednou se ocitá spolu s Noor opět na místě, kde všechno začalo – v domě svého dědečka. Jacob netuší, jak se jim podařilo utéct ze smyčky V a jak se dostali na Floridu. Ale jednu věc ví naprosto jistě: Caul se vrátil.Poté, co jen o vlásek uniknou krvežíznivému netvorovi, se Jacob a Noor v Ďáblově akru znovu setkávají se slečnou Peregrinovou a podivnými dětmi. Akr je sužován poruchami počasí, které přinášejí déšť popela, krve a kostí – děsivou předzvěstí příchodu Caulovy armády.Caul byl vzkříšen v Knihovně duší a je mocnější než kdykoliv předtím. Zdá se, že jeho apokalyptickému příchodu nelze zabránit. Zbývá poslední naděje – dopravit Noor na místo, kde se má setkat sedm emancipátorů, o nichž se píše v proroctví. Pokud se ovšem podaří zjistit, kde toto utajené místo je.Osud celé říše podivných je velmi nejistý, když Jacob s přáteli čelí ďábelským nepřátelům a společně procházejí těmi nejnebezpečnějšími smyčkami historie. Tento díl je skutečně působivým závěrem série o podivných dětech slečny Peregrinové.

Novo livro da fascinante série que já vendeu mais de 500 mil exemplares no Brasil A série O lar da srta. Peregrine para crianças peculiares é sucesso no Brasil e no mundo, tendo figurado na lista de mais vendidos e alcançado a marca de meio milhão de exemplares. Na aguardada continuação da história, vamos acompanhar os perigos que cercam o futuro do universo peculiar. Em A Convenção das Aves, novo capítulo da série criada por Ransom Riggs, a jornada de Jacob pelo perigoso e surpreendente mundo peculiar dos Estados Unidos se transforma numa corrida contra o tempo. Ao lado dos amigos, ele se envolve em uma misteriosa missão: precisa salvar a jovem Noor Pradesh e levá-la até uma mulher poderosa e enigmática conhecida apenas como V. Noor parece ser a chave de uma profecia antiga que prevê um apocalipse que destruirá tudo e todos. Em seu leito de morte, H. confessa a Jacob que ela será “uma dos sete que emanciparão os peculiares”. Mas quem são os sete? E do que — ou de quem — eles serão emancipados? Os questionamentos são muitos, mas a mensagem é clara: Salve Noor, salve os peculiares. Mais do que nunca, eles precisarão se unir, embrenhando-se por mundos desconhecidos enquanto tentam decifrar a profecia e descobrir os planos malignos dos etéreos. Enquanto isso, a srta. Peregrine e as outras ymbrynes se veem em meio a negociações de paz com os clãs norte-americanos, buscando a todo custo evitar que uma guerra seja deflagrada e que o mundo peculiar sofra as consequências irreversíveis desse conflito. Eles só não contavam que um de seus maiores inimigos talvez esteja se preparando para um retorno triunfal. E aterrorizante. Numa edição em capa dura com sobrecapa, ilustrada com as fotos mais sombrias do acervo pessoal do autor, A Convenção das Aves vai conquistar novos leitores e encantar os fãs, preparando-os para o emocionante desfecho da saga, que está cada vez mais próximo.

N oor Pradesh è una mangialuce, una ragazza che ha vissuto fino a oggi tra i Normali, ignara dei suoi immensi poteri, e Jacob l''ha trovata, ma la sua missione è tutt''altro che conclusa. L''unica cosa che sa è che deve portarla da una certa V, la più potente e misteriosa tra gli alleati di suo nonno Abe. Il problema è che tutti danno la caccia a Noor: gli Speciali dell''America più selvaggia e i Vacui, i nemici di sempre. E anche le ymbryne hanno bisogno di lei, perché in Noor è riposta la speranza, o forse la condanna, del futuro del loro mondo: c''è questa ragazza al centro dell''antica profezia che preannuncia la catastrofe. Se Jacob vuole scongiurare l''arrivo di un''era buia e insidiosa, ancora una volta deve mettersi in gioco, deve partire verso un luogo irto di pericoli, là dove infuria il Grande Vento. Ma intanto quasi tutti gli anelli sono collassati, Devil''s Acre è a ferro e fuoco, i clan americani sono in lotta tra loro. E le ymbryne sono ormai troppo poche, e deboli, per poter ristabilire, da sole, l''antica armonia tra gli Speciali. I personaggi creati dalla geniale fantasia di Ransom Riggs tornano in vita nel nuovo, potente episodio di una saga leggendaria: dalla fredda Scozia a New York, dalla Seconda guerra mondiale al presente, non ci sono limiti all''immaginazione di questo autore unico ormai entrato nel gotha dei narratori fantasy.

With only a few bewildering clues to follow, time is running out.

Když H, spolupracovník Jacobova dědečka Abea Portmana, umíral, pověřil Jacoba úkolem – dopravit nově kontaktovanou členku rodiny podivných Noor Pradeshovou do bezpečí, které jí poskytne tajná agentka V. Svěřil mu i to, že Noor se týká prastaré proroctví o sedmi emancipátorech, kteří zachrání svět podivných před hrozící apokalypsou. Pokud se podaří zachránit Noor Pradeshovou, zachrání tím i svět podivných. O jeho zkázu neusiluje nikdo jiný víc než stvůry. A ačkoliv při zkáze Knihovny duší velká většina z nich zemřela, ti nejhorší z nich přežili. Někteří jako vězňové, kterým se však na začátku nového pokračování příběhu podivných podaří ze žaláře uprchnout. Na útěku osvobodí i netvora, který poháněl Panloopticon... Celou situaci ještě komplikují znesvářené americké klany podivných, mezi nimiž hrozí válka, jíž se všemožně snaží zamezit ymbryny. V amerických smyčkách se skrývá nebezpečí a nejistota na každém kroku. Kam dřív skočit? A aby toho nebylo málo, V je nejtajemnější a nejmocnější z Abeových bývalých společníků, která se skrývá a dělá vše pro to, aby nebyla nalezena. Jacoba čeká tvrdý oříšek. Čas nemilosrdně běží a Jacob i jeho přátelé se snaží rozluštit proroctví a přijít celé věci na kloub. Na záda Jacobovi dýchají nepřátelé a před ním je jedno velké Neznámo... Uspěje i tentokrát?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The instant bestseller! • New York Times bestseller • USA Today bestseller • Wall Street Journal bestseller “A Map of Days reveals Ransom Riggs at the peak of his powers, leaving loyal fans ravenous for more.” –NY Journal of Books Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe. Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop. Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is again illustrated by haunting vintage photographs, now with the striking addition of full-color images interspersed throughout for this all-new, multi-era American adventure.

Miss Peregrine et les enfants particuliers peuvent désormais vivre hors des boucles temporelles sans risquer de vieillir en accéléré ! Jacob, le seul qui connaît le monde actuel, est chargé de donner des cours de normalité à ses amis pour éviter qu''ils ne se fassent remarquer. Mais alors qu''ils se rendent dans un centre commercial pour trouver des tenues adéquates, les enfants visitent la maison d''Abe, le grand-père de Jacob. Ils y découvrent un bunker empli de secrets... Persuadé que son grand-père lui a laissé des indices pour sauver des enfants particuliers isolés, Jacob entraîne ses amis dans une aventure hasardeuse. Pendant que Miss Peregrine tente de reconstruire le monde des Particuliers, les enfants se lancent, en secret, dans une autre opération de sauvetage. Noor, une jeune fille aux dons étranges et dangereux est traquée par des individus sinistres. Jacob enfreint toutes les règles des Particuliers pour la sauver. Délaissé par ses amis qui lui en veulent de désobéir, et accablé par d''étranges révélations sur son grand-père, Jacob refuse toutefois d''abandonner Noor. Il doit l''aider, coûte que coûte...

Di ritorno da Devil''s Acre e dall''Inghilterra vittoriana, dove ha sconfitto i mostri che tenevano sotto scacco il mondo Speciale, Jacob Portman riparte dal presente, dalla Florida, dove tutto aveva avuto inizio con la morte di suo nonno Abe. Ma lì con lui, adesso, proprio a casa sua, ci sono Miss Peregrine e i suoi amici Speciali; e questa sarebbe un''occasione perfetta per regalarsi una piccola vacanza condivisa sulle belle spiagge americane, mentre Emma e Enoch e Millard e tutti gli altri imparano a muoversi tra i Normali - però il destino ha in mente altro. I ragazzi, infatti, scoprono un bunker sotterraneo nell''appartamento di nonno Portman. Lentamente emergono le tracce della vita parallela vissuta da Abe, e Jacob intuisce di avere per le mani un''eredità pericolosa, che sta per proiettarlo in uno scenario emozionante e sconosciuto. In questo quarto episodio della saga di Miss Peregrine il luogo dell''azione è l''America Speciale, un luogo selvaggio, privo di regole, difficile da capire, nel quale non si sa nemmeno che fine abbiano fatto le ymbryne Sorprendenti personaggi incroceranno la strada dei nostri amati eroi sollecitando il loro coraggio, mettendone alla prova l''intelligenza, sfidandoli a crescere. Mentre Jacob e Emma dovranno ritagliarsi uno spazio a parte per fare i conti con l''amore.
