Jacob’s Mom
Millard is a peculiar who lives at Miss Peregrine’s home. Millard’s peculiar ability is that he is invisible (though any clothes he puts on are not). This allows Millard to overhear conversations and hide in plain sight. Because the children relive the same day over and over, he is compiling a comprehensive account of every event and conversation that happens that day. In contrast to Emma, Millard is even-keeled and logical, but like the other children, he bravely goes after Dr. Golan when Miss Peregrine is kidnapped. In this pursuit, Dr. Golan shoots Millard and wounds him badly, but Millard survives.

I decided I was done lying. “I’m fine, Dad. I was with my friends. “
It was like I’d pulled the pin on a grenade.
“YOUR FRIENDS ARE IMAGINARY!” he shouted. He came toward me, his face turning red. “I wish your mother and I had never let that crackpot therapist talk us into bringing you out here, because it has been an unmitigated disaster. You just lied to me for the last time! Now get in your room and start packing. We’re on the next ferry!” […]
I wondered for a moment if I would have to run from him. I pictured my dad holding me down, calling for help, loading me onto the ferry with my arms locked in a straightjacket.
“I’m not coming with you,” I said.
