Book Trailer for Hollow City Debuts on Entertainment Weekly!
Hey there Miss Peregrine fans!
Back in 2011, Ransom Riggs introduced readers to the world of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The book took the YA world by storm with its vintage photography, thrilling story, and unique, appropriately peculiar characters. One could float, another was invisible, and one character even had a nest of bees in his stomach.
With the sequel on the horizon (Hollow City comes out next month!), we released the first of three trailers spotlighting specific characters. This one highlights Hugh and his bees.
The trailer debuted on Entertainment Weekly yesterday afternoon, and now, it's available for you to share. Have a look, and enjoy! Get ready. Hollow City is coming!
