* AdultFear: A sinister group of once human monsters stalk a group of children with the intention of either experimenting on them or eating them. The more human ones have infiltrated pretty much every strata of human society that could help them, while the more abominable ones are super strong, high endurance giants that are invisible. Even if they knew what was going on, odds are Jacob's parents would be all but powerless to protect him.

For years, Jacob had delighted at his grandfather's tales of growing up during WorldWarII in an orphanage run by Miss Peregrine and populated by children like himself. Well, not quite like himself. These children were peculiar. ''Very'' peculiar.
Today, Jacob is sixteen years old and has outgrown these silly fairy stories... but when his grandfather is killed under strange circumstances, Jacob has only his grandfather's stories and a collection of strange photographs to follow as he finds himself delving deeper into his grandfather's past, where he learns that these silly fairy stories are neither silly nor fiction... and the peculiar children his grandfather spoke of might still be alive...

* CreatingLife: Enoch, who also has a primitive MadScientistLaboratory to boot.
* CreepyChild: A lot of the children at Miss Peregrine's orphanage.
* CreepyTwins: Dressed as clowns, no less, though they never actually show up.
* TheDandy: Horace. "Call me a dandy if you will, but just because the villagers won't remember what you wear, doesn't give you license to dress like a vagabond."
* DarkIsNotEvil: Enoch, who can manipulate the dead and described as being a CreepyChild in general, but is a good guy if kinda a dick and rather pragmatic.
* DefrostingTheIceQueen: Jacob to Emma.
* EldritchAbominations: As weird as the kids are, they look positively normal next to the hollowgasts and wights...
* ExtranormalInstitute: Miss Peregrine's Home counts.
* GentleGiant: Bronwyn.
* GreenThumb: Fiona. She's also wonderful with topiary.
* GroundhogDayLoop: The nature of the time loops.
* TheHeartless
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: In the end, Jacob chooses to stay with the children in looking for surviving ymbrynes.]]
* InvisibleStreaker: Millard.
* InvisibleToNormals: Hollowgasts
* LonelyRichKid: Jacob. At the beginning he has a grand total of one friend.
* MayDecemberRomance: Averted with Emma and Jacob. Even though Emma is ''technically'' in her eighties, living in the [[GroundhogDayLoop loop]] means she hasn't aged physically or emotionally in decades and is still essentially a teenager.
* MeaningfulName: Miss Peregine, who can transform into a bird. It seems all ymbryine have these, such as Miss Finch, who can transform into a finch, and so on.
* MistakenForCheating: Jacob's father Franklin and his sister Susie always thought that their father was cheating on their mother with another woman because they found letters addressed to him from a woman who called herself "E." [[spoiler: It turned out to be Emma, and he wasn't cheating on his wife with her.]]
* MilkyWhiteEyes: The wights all have these.
* NightmareFuel: The wights. There are several in-universe examples: The one Jacob sees the night his grandpa is killed is literally nightmare fuel for him for months. Later when he is going through some creepy old photos he wonders what the point of some of them could be other than "fuel for nightmares".
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Jacob.
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: In order to keep the children safe, Miss Peregrine has hidden them away in a little pocket of time where it has been September 3rd, 1940 ever since... September 3rd, 1940. She makes sure the time loop resets just before the Germans bomb the everloving crap out of the Home, and the children have not aged since that day, though they remember each iteration of the day. It is mentioned that other ymbrynes have created similar time loops as refuges for other groups of peculiars.
* OurWightsAreDifferent
* PlayingWithFire: Emma's schtick.
* PowerIncontinence: Olive, a girl with the power of levitation must wear weighted shoes or otherwise be tied down to keep from floating away.
* [[ImmortalitySeeker Immortality Seeking]]: The reason the hallowgasts and wights exist in the first place.
* SpookyPhotographs: A handful of these are included throughout the book. And the best part is that they are all real antique photos collected by the author (and several of his friends and fellow hobbyists) before he ever started writing the book.
* SuperStrongChild: Bronwyn.
* ThemeNaming: The ymbrynes are all named after birds. Which makes sense, considering they ''can'' turn into them.
* ThoseTwoGuys: A pair of twins constantly shows up in photographs, but we never get to actually meet them. (Perhaps they're actually [[spoiler: not twins at all, but [[FridgeHorror Miss Peregrine's brothers]], before it all went wrong]]?)
* TheTunguskaEvent: comes up as a plot point.
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Miss Peregrine (and others like her, called ymbrynes) can turn into birds. The reason given is that only birds can master the time loops.
* WorldWarII: Miss Peregrine's loop is in September 3rd, 1940.
