With enemies behind him and the unknown ahead, Jacob Portman's story continues as he takes a brave Leap Forward into the Conference of Birds, the newest installment in the Beloved, number one best-selling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. 

Review- A strong fifth novel In The Peculiar Children series. We pick up right where the fourth novel left off with Jacob finding Noor and trying to escape from the American peculiar to get back to his friends at the devil's acre Loop. Just now what was very fast paced with not much time and a lot going on. Villain from the first trilogy is back we don't really see him in this in this volume but we see his handiwork. Some character issues from previous novels are resolved in this novel, and one of the missing characters has been found but what kind of damage she has survived really has yet to be seen. I found the love story part of this novel very distracting and a little annoying. I want more adventure from this series and less teenage angsty love story. But all in all this was a strong volume and I am interested to see where we're going to go in the final novel of this trilogy. 

 I of this novel of Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review read this book from my local library.
