A Map of Days

Gr 6 Up–Riggs continues the adventures of Miss Peregrine's Peculiars and brings them to a brave new world: the present-day U.S. After surviving the events that took place in Library of Souls, the children arrive in Florida and begin a crash course in normalization by navigating modern malls and grocery stores. Clues left by Jacob's grandfather Abe are soon discovered and that sets the group on a dangerous covert mission across American Peculiardom. Readers new to the series will notice similarities between the Peculiars and Professor X's mutant X-men, and the challenges they face can serve as starting points for discussions on timely topics, such as immigration and acceptance. As in the previous books, found snapshot photographs illustrate the text, offering a refreshing confirmation that the Peculiars are among us—and have been all along.
