Synopsis "Library of Souls "

A boy with extraordinary powers.
An army of deadly monsters.
An epic battle for the future of peculiardom.
The adventure that began with Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and continued with Hollow City comes to a thrilling conclusion with Library of Souls. As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he's diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children.
They'll travel from modern-day London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devil's Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England. It's a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all. Like its predecessors, Library of Souls blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.
Ransom Riggs grew up in Florida but makes his home in the land of peculiar children -Los Angeles. He was raised on a steady diet of ghost stories and British comedy, which probably explains the novels he writes. There's a nonzero chance he's in your house right now, watching you from underneath the bed. (Go ahead and check. We'll wait.) If not, you can always find him on Twitter @ransomriggs.

Ransom Riggs (Ransom Clifton Riggs) es un escritor, cineasta y fotógrafo estadounidense, reconocido por combinar la narrativa fantástica con antiguas fotografías encontradas en mercadillos, archivos y colecciones privadas. Tras estudiar literatura inglesa y cinematografía, desarrolló un estilo muy personal en el que las imágenes antiguas se integran de forma natural en la historia, creando atmósferas inquietantes y memorables. Su obra ha conquistado a lectores de todas las edades y ha contribuido a renovar la fantasía juvenil contemporánea.

Es autor de la exitosa saga iniciada con El hogar de Miss Peregrine para niños peculiares (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children), seguida por títulos como La ciudad desolada, La biblioteca de las almas, Un mapa de los días, La conferencia de las aves y Las desolaciones del Acre del Diablo. La novela que dio origen a la serie alcanzó la lista de los más vendidos de The New York Times y fue adaptada al cine en 2016 por el director Tim Burton.
