Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children Week 2

This term in literacy groups we have been reading the book Miss Peregrine home for peculiar children. So far I am up to Chapter 5 and we've been introduced to new characters, Martin, a man who works at the Cairnholm museum and his Uncle Oggie, who I think both play an important role in giving Jacob pieces of information that help puts his grandfather history into place.

Jacob also discovered the house where Miss Peregrine, his grandfather lived, and the children  however no one seems to be living there. Jacob discovers that on the 3rd of September 1940 a German air raid sent bombs on the house and there were no survivors except for Grandpa Portman. However if you look back into the story on pg 62-63, there is a letter from Miss Peregrine to Grandpa Portman dated on the 3rd of September 1940. How could she have written that letter when the bomb came down on the house? What if there was a secret underground tunnel that they had escaped to and everyone thought they were dead but actually just in hiding?

Also on pg 91, Jacob's dad says Grandpa Portman was having an affair, as they found a letter saying "I love you, I miss you, when are you coming back? What if the letter was from Miss Peregrine as she was still in hiding, she was kind of like an adopted mother to him and he could know about the secret underground tunnel?
