A Map of Days

Jacob Portman has confided in his parents about the peculiar world. Miss Peregrine then erases their memories, a step meant to protect them. Back home in Florida, he uncovers a hidden shelter and a mission log left by his grandfather Abe, and he decides to carry on Abe's work as a hollow hunter.

Jacob sets out across the United States with Emma and other peculiars from Miss Peregrine's home. Their job is to deliver packages for an employer who goes only by H.

The road is dangerous. Wights and gangs stand in their way, as does the Organization, ordinary people who want every peculiar gone. The trip moves from one hazard to the next, with the team always on the move.

Along the way, the group learns how few American ymbrynes survived. They also learn how Abe spent the period when Emma knew him, and what makes a young peculiar named Noor so important.

This is the fourth Miss Peregrine novel and opens a new trilogy. It comes after Library of Souls and leads on to The Conference of the Birds, so newcomers should begin with the first book in the series.
