Book 1 Description:

Miss Peregrine discovered that her daughter, whom she initially believed to be a typical peculiar, was in fact not aware that Kira was just not only a peculiar but also a Ymbryne. This immense secret was concealed by Kira, the daughter of Miss Peregrine, who chose not to disclose it to anyone else.

 Shortly after Miss Peregrine made the decision to embark on an expedition in search of uncontacted peculiars, her intention was to establish a peculiar children's home. This endeavor aimed to create a sense of belonging and acceptance for peculiars, providing them with a place where they could truly feel at home.

As a consequence, Kira was relocated under the care of another Ymbryne, specifically Miss Raven and Miss Crow. In due course, Kira unravels the truth that's been concealed beneath the dreadful lies her mother and caretakers had woven, now it's up to Kira to set things right.

"Sleep is not! Death is not! Who seem to die live! House you were born in! Friends of your springtime! Old man and young maid! Day's toil and its Guerdon! They are all vanishing! fleeing to fables! Cannot be moored" I found myself captivated by the distant tree, then turned my attention back to the imposing empty house right in front of me.

* * *

I am positive and certain that my mom is at home, sound asleep. If not, I would definitely be in big trouble for being out without supervision. Typical. Recently, she's been displaying a change in behavior, becoming slightly more stern, sensitive, and strict.

I have always lived with my mother and no one else, my father hasn't been in the picture and my mother refuses to even speak of him. Anyway, more about my mum. She literally thrives on routine and relies heavily on her trusted sidekick, time... As in the actual clock itself...

Our usual daily schedule usually plays out like this;

* 7 am - Wake up & get ready for the day.
* 8 am - Come downstairs & eat some breakfast.
* 9 am - Homeschooling
* 3pm - Homeschooling finishes & the beginning of relax time
* 4 pm - Mum leaves the house to find uncontacted peculiar.
* 8 pm - Mother returns.
* 9 pm - bed.

And repeat.

But this one particular day came and it changed EVERYTHING! It completely shifted my perspective on the world, my mother, and our circumstances.

It's really sad to see that whenever she comes back home, I can't shake off the feeling that our relationship, her affection, love, and care are slowly deteriorating. It reached a stage where she didn't even bother to have a conversation or even tuck me to bed.

I was 4.

In that very same week, my own mother essentially exiled me to a different place, treating me as if I didn't matter to her. She sent me to live with an Ymbryne who could nurture me as I grew older, among a group of peculiar children.

I was only given the explanation that she wasn't feeling very good, mentally and emotionally. She's been given a major job that will need her undivided attention, so she'll be away for an extended period. She didn't want me to grow up all by myself, with no one to watch over me and no one to care for me. She explained that she was just doing what she had to do for my own good. Her intention was for me to have a secure social life and not miss out on important development.
