Miss Peregrine is returning to the page. Ransom Riggs’ beloved novel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will get a special deluxe edition this year for its 15th anniversary, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal. Riggs’ 2011 novel launched his young adult, multi-genre series about a teenager discovers an orphanage for children with supernatural powers on the fictional Welsh island of Cairnholm.

The series comprises six books, featuring found and vernacular photography: Hollow City (2014), Library of Souls (2015), A Map of Days (2018), The Conference of the Birds (2020) and The Desolations of the Devil’s Acre (2022).

The new deluxe edition from Quirk Books features a new package designed by Riggs and Doogie Horner, the book’s original designer.

Per a statement shared with PEOPLE, the cover was designed to emulate the Victorian setting central to the novel, and includes a premium slipcase, a gold foil-stamped cover with character portraits and illustrated endpapers.
