<sod>Over the years, Jacob "Jake" Portman ([[Asa Butterfield]]) and his grandfather, Abraham "Abe" Portman ([[Terrence Stamp]]) has been telling stories about Abe battling monsters with tentacles and different children, some being Emma, a girl who floats, Millard, an invisible boy, Olive, a girl who can make fire, Bronwyn, a very strong girl, and many more. Abe also explained there was a headmistress named Miss Peregrine, who can turn into a Peregrine falcon and lives in a home in an island. Years later Jacob, now 16, works at a place called Smartaid, asks his co-worker Shelly to drive him to his grandpa's house. On the way, Jake gets a terrifiying call from Abe telling him it's not safe and not to come. Jake, who thinks it's just because of his dementia, still comes. On a foggy night, they see a man with white eyes ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) and it almost causes them to have an accident. They get to Abe's to discover the house has been trashed, with broken glass and papers everywhere. Jake finds a bloody flashlight in the backyard and goes into the woods. He finds Abe without eyes and almost dying, and says to find the bird, the loop and September 3, 1940. Shelly follows them and Jake sees a gigantic monster with tenticles. Screaming, Shelly, armed with has a revolver, turns around and shoots to find nothing's there. Jake then ends up seeing a psychiatric doctor, Dr. Golan. He goes home and gets a suprise birthday party, happy but depressed over Abe's death, he goes to his room. To his suprise, his aunt comes in and gives him a present, telling him she found it in Abe's house. She leaves and Jake opens it, which is the works of Ralph Waldo Emmerson, and inside the book, is a letter written from a woman named Alma Peregrine, and he travels to the island of Cairnholm (in England) with his dad, on suggestion of his therapist. They rent a room in the only hotel on the island with a pub. Jacob asks his dad if he can go explore, and his dad says no, and suggests he go with someone. His dad pays two teenagers to take Jacob wherever he wants. Jacob, who waits for his dad to walk away, tells them to lead him to the children's home. The two teenagers point to where it is, and Jacob finds the house gutted and in ruins. He goes inside, only to find Emma ([[Ella Purnell]]), Olive, Millard, two masked twins, and Brownyn. They lead him into a cave, which they call a "loop". Halfway through walking through the cave, Jake decides to run away, and gets to the pub to find old fashioned people dressed in outdated clothing. He realizes he has somehow travelled back in time to 1940. When they confuse Jacob for a Nazi spy, they attempt to capture him. Suddenly, plates and utensils start levitating and shattering all around, and Olive, Bronwyn, and Millard retrieve him as Olive starts a fire as they exit the pub. On the way to the children's home, Jake thinks he did all that levitation but finds out it was an undressed Millard. They return to the children's home where they're greeted by Miss Peregrine ([[Eva Green]]). Miss Peregrine explains why they live there and Jake also meets the other children, Hugh, who has bees living inside him, Fiona, who can make plants grow with her hands, Claire, who has a second mouth behind her head, Enoch who can reanimate dead things, and who holds a grudge against Abe and Jake because of the death of Bronwyn's brother at the hands of a Hollow. The creatures are led by a man named, Mr. Barron (which, turns out to be the same man with white eyes that Jake see earlier), a "Wight" himself, trying to become human again by continuously eating peculiar children's eyeballs. Emma walks Jake home and another Ymbryne flies into them, known as Miss Avocet ([[Judi Dench]]). The next day, Jake comes back only to see a man ([[Rupert Everett]]), who follows him to the loop in the cave, then turn into Dr. Golan, and then into Barron. Miss Peregrine opens the door to fine Jake held captive by Barron. Miss Peregrine is instucted to come with Barron for her children's safety. She follows. Miss Avocet is unfortunately killed after a Hollow enters their house and its tenticles throw her through a window. The children barely escape the house. The kids go to Emma's secret hideout under the water, which is a sunken cruise ship. Emma blows off the water and all the children sail to another loop in London inside the ghost train of a fun house. They use the loop to return into the present and they find Barron and his crew. Barron escapes but the children kill the others. Emma and Enoch find Jake and Barron, who is impersonating Jake in an attempt to fool the children into killing the real Jake. A Hollow then attacks Barron (still in Jake's form) and pulls out his eyeballs, leaving him dead. The children bid good-bye to Jake, and he returns home once again to find Abe is alive and well. Jake tells Abe his whole story; Abe gives Jake the same book by Ralph Waldo Emmerson, but instead of a letter inside, it holds money from all over the world, and Abe tells Jake to follow them and return to where he belongs. Jake, who goes through loops in China, and other places, finally locates the old cruise boat with the children where he and Emma finally reveal their feelings and kiss as the old boat sails off toward the next loop. Miss Peregrine, as a peregrine bird watching from above, follows the boat, and smiles.<eod>
