Hollow City: Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs

This is book 2 of the six-book series of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children. Jacob Portman lives in the "time loop" with the children until something happens that forces them out. Emma (fire starter) is brave and smart and acts as the leader, as the kids go in search of...no spoiler... in search of a healer of sorts. Their journey is filled with many dangers -- and hollowgast and wigts (these are the 2 types of "the corrupted", aka bad guys). I really like Riggs' writing. With this book, I only suggest you read it if you intend to keep reading more of this series. Whereas the 1st book's ending was the kind where I could fill in the blanks, Hollow City's ending is a real cliffhanger. 

In this book, new "peculiars" include the 2 lil brothers who are more like bats (blind, but navigate with sonar), and a few others. 

Spoilers ahead

The kids must go in search of their kidnapped ymbryne, Miss Peregrine. 

After they find her, they must get her to London to be "healed" (think...stuck with feathers). 

And wow that ending. Quite the shocking ending.
