“A Map of Days reveals Ransom Riggs at the peak of his powers, leaving loyal fans ravenous for more.” –NY Journal of Books
Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe.
Clues to Abe’s double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited—truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine’s time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom—a world with few ymbrynes, or rules—that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine’s peculiar children. Their story is again illustrated by haunting vintage photographs, now with the striking addition of full-color images interspersed throughout for this all-new, multi-era American adventure.

Review:
An Amazon Best Book of October 2018: The latest installment of Ransom Riggs’ popular series has exciting new twists in store, starting with Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children arriving in Florida and pulling off a daring rescue. While not billed as a prequel, A Map of Days takes readers on a journey to where it all began for Jacob Portman: his grandfather Abe’s secret life as a peculiar operative. Until now, readers have only had an enticing glimpse into Abe’s life in the peculiar world, and it turns out he wasn’t just involved on the other side of the time loop. Jacob and his friends uncover clues to a whole network in America that is, fittingly, kind of the wild west of peculiardom. Each new discovery leads to yet another piece of the puzzle, and of course there is plenty of danger and suspense. There is much to love about this new chapter in the bestselling series, including color photographs and an ending that leaves readers eager for more. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
