> When Jake arrives at Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children, he expects curiosity—or at least a cautious welcome—but instead he’s immediately met with hostility from Enoch O’Connor, a sharp-tongued and guarded boy who seems determined to dislike him. As Jake struggles to find his place among the peculiars, Enoch constantly challenges him with biting remarks and sarcasm, testing whether Jake truly belongs in their strange world. Beneath the tension, however, hints of deeper fears and unspoken stakes suggest that Enoch’s resentment may be about more than just a new arrival—and that Jake’s presence could change everything.
