Miss Peregrine even tells Jacob that Emma “has a certain flair for the dramatic” (Riggs 152). I could just see if the back of mind Emma grimacing at Jacob when he told her that he was Abs grandson. All her emotions rushed to her head like she was on a fast roller coaster her stomach reaching her mouth. Approaching the end of the book her emotions flipped.
