Our view

“A Map of Days” takes the Miss Peregrine series in a new direction, moving its peculiar children to America. The fourth book and the first of a new trilogy, it keeps the old photographs and the time travel while giving its young characters more independence. Some readers find the first half mostly setup and the later obstacles too easily overcome. It suits readers who want a series to mature with its characters.
