* ShownTheirWork: When Jake is discussing the letter with Miss Peregrine, during his second visit, a broadcast can be heard on the radio. It is Winston Churchill's "significant things" speech, which was initially broadcast from Canada on August 31st 1943. It was then re-broadcast for the British Isles three days later - the exact date that the loop takes place on.

!!The Books:
* AuthorsSavingThrow: [[spoiler:The ending of the first trilogy seems oddly disconnected from everything that came before it, given how much emphasis is placed on how difficult (if not impossible) it is for Normals and Peculiars to live together. The second trilogy wastes no time in showing how Jacob's parents are never going to accept Jacob for who he is, much less his new friends. Thus, the true ending of the series has Jacob leaving his parents behind forever and joining his friends back on Cairnholm.]]
