Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Page #2

son's birthdays. What's difference?

You find something good?

Aw. Look at that.

That's awesome.

You take that.

Come on buddy, let's roll.

How are you so okay?

Jake, you were a lot closer

to him than I ever was.

He was a wonderful grandpa. But not...

not such a great dad, you know?.

Never seemed to pick a job

that didn't involve late nights

and long trips away though.

Me and Aunt Sussie always kinda thought

he was maybe cheating on our mom.

I am sorry, buddy. I know how much

you worshipped him but there it is.

Surprise!

Happy Birthday, cousin Jake.

Jake, its great you've to come

to spend the summer with us.

Wait till you see the new dogs.

Can't wait.

It's aunt Sussie.

Thought you might want

to open this one.

It's from your grandpa.

Found it while I was packing up. I figured

he meant to give it to you someday.

Thanks.

"To Jake and the worlds

he has yet to discover."

"My dearest Abe.

"I hope this card finds you well.

"The children and I yearn

to hear your news.

"I do hope you will

visit us again soon.

"We should so love to see you.

"With admiration,

Alma Peregrine. "

Hmm... Only two years ago.

I suppose it's possible

she could still be still be alive.

Right.

And I could meet her.

Maybe even find out what it was

Grandpa wanted me to know.

But what if she's dead?

Dr. Golan, we are very concerned

with Jake's state of mind right now.

And there is no way I'm putting

my life on hold to take you to Wales.

Dad could take me.

And he can even look at birds...

work in his book.

It means you get a break.

And as Dr. Golan said

maybe I can move on.

Like closure.

Having an opportunity to see this Children's

Home and separate fantasy from reality,

may be helpful and at the very least

a trip like this provides a chance to

say goodbye.

"Cairnholm:

"Best known for its proximity to the final

resting place of the cruise liner Augusta

"which sank in 1915."

There is only one hotel.

That's ours.

I hope there's no vermin.

Oh wow! Jake! check it out.

That's a peregrine falcon.

Peregrine, like the Headmistress?

Sure.

Hey, that's probably where grandpa came

with the tale of turning into a bird thing.

Maybe. Maybe that's really her.

Hey, Miss Peregrine, It's me, Jake.

I am Abe Portman's grandson.

Please don't crap on us.

Oh my God, dad, I'm kidding.

What the he... Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

"Two Torpedoes hit

RMS Augusta. 894 lost."

Hey! Any idea where I'd find

the manager of this place?

That's me.

Sorry to keep you.

Just helping uncle Oggie to the loo.

- I'm Kev. There's room upstairs.

- Great.

I'll be back in a bit.
