Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Series

Origin
The Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children book series was written by Ransom Riggs and is a set of fantasy novels which followed a series of tales about (mostly) children and teenagers with peculiar abilities. The books used pictures as a guide for the characters in the story; the pictures are all "found photography", or pictures which don't have clear origins or homes. The series consists of three main books: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Hollow City, and Library of Souls.

Effects
Reading or looking through any of the books causes the reader to develop one of the peculiar abilities mentioned in the book for 24 hours. The ability appears to be locked into each person, and is dependent on which book they read. Only one ability can be used every 48 hours, and they cannot stack (reading one book and then attempting to read another will not give the reader abilities from both books, only the first one).

Unlike the majority of artifacts, the downsides the reader will experience depend on which ability the user is granted. The consistent across the board is that the downsides will last for 24 hours after the peculiar effects gained have worn off. See the section below for the abilities each book can offer and the downsides of each ability.

Animals have been seen to be able to activate the artifacts as well, causing their own unique effects, which can include being super strong and super intelligent, including having the ability to speak. However, the downside to animal use is that they begin to deform as their bodies try to become more human-like.


 * While all of the peculiar abilities are known between the books, only a few have actually been used. Therefore, the actual downsides of most of the abilities are unknown at present. It has been asked of Agent Felix Draco to test the different abilities at some point to find the downsides. Because of the complexity of the artifact's nature, the list will be updated as they are discovered.

Abilities and Downsides
Each ability is listed, followed by =. If it has been used, the downside is listed in bold. It is unclear how some of the more bizarre abilities will translate when activated.

Collection
Collected from Wichita, Kansas after reports of several bizarre happenstances, including people predicting the future, fire and ice control, and bizarre healing abilities. Agents Megan Wilcoxson and Pete Lattimer collected the books after discovering that all three were part of the collection, spread out about several friends. One of the animals at one person's house had also gained the ability to speak, and he told them of the different books.

Storage and Handling
Stored in the Library Section with other book series.

Neutralizer gloves and glasses are mandatory. Do not read without permission.

The books are bifurcated artifacts. Attempting to neutralize only one of the books will turn the neutralizer into a multi-colored goo which swirls with strange images. All three books must be together before the neutralizer will work. Neutralizing the artifacts will stop the effects regardless of how long the user has left. However, the downsides will begin and last for the length of time the user was affected.

Trivia

 * The invisibility effect will make the user completely invisible. However, the clothing the user is wearing will still be visible. Therefore, if the user wishes to properly be invisible to all, they must be completely nude to avoid detection. Aside from tracking heat signatures, there are currently no other means to track people while they are under the effect of invisibility.
 * Warehouse Agents Megan Wilcoxson and Pete Lattimer have both tried the artifact, though each have only tested the first book.
 * Agent Wilcoxson has the invisibility peculiarity, while Agent Lattimer has the increased strength peculiarity.
