“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.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the first three books, but I do agree that the movie was a little disappointing. They did mix up Emma by giving her Olive's levitating power instead of her power of creating fire like it was in the book. I usually don't complain too much about simple mistakes or omissions from book to movie, but that was a pretty big mistake that could have been easily corrected.

I love these books but I HATED the movie it was awful because it was not like the books even the character's peculiarities were mixed up. That was the first mess up and the guy they chose to play Jacob Portman was a poor choice in this readers opinion.

I am so happy that there is going to be the new book soon. In reality, I didn't like how the previous three books were summed up into one movie. I wish that each book could get it's own movie, but oh well i still liked it. Just can't wait for this book and what Jacob and the rest are going to experience in america in modern day!!!!!!
