Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Chapter 11

By Ransom Riggs

Chapter 11

The kids, with Miss Peregrine in tow, return to the house to find it no longer standing.
The loop didn't loop, so the house was bombed and now it's a wreck.
The kids seem to have escaped, though, and Jacob's crew fills them in on what happened.
Hugh says they have to stop them, and Horace, the prophetic dreamer, dreamed where the wights took Miss Avocet.
He draws a picture of a fence made of bars and razor wire. A concentration camp? Is the boy with the striped pajamas there, too?
The kids decide they have no choice but to search the loops until they find Miss Avocet.
Emma fetches the Maps of Days, which lists every loop ever known to exist.
The catch is that Jacob will never be able to return to the time he came from.
He decides to say goodbye to his dad first.
Dad is angry that Jacob has been running away every day, and he flips out when Jacob says he was with his friends, who are imaginary.
Well, on cue, said imaginary friends show up.
Olive floats in, Millard the invisible boy comes in (a bandage floating in air), and Emma and her flaming hands show up.
Dad goes into shock, and pretty much just passes out.
Emma leaves Dad a note saying that she'll keep Jacob safe, and that she knew Grandpa Abe. She includes a picture of Abe and herself lying in the grass together.
Back in the loop, they bury Victor and then load up in the rowboats.
Who knows where they're going? We'll have to buy the sequel.
