Hello everyone! I read this book back in January and I still think about to it to this day. I want to get all my thoughts into a formal review so I can at least say I put them out there into the universe. The novel in question is A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children # 4)  by Ransom Riggs. Info Genre: Young Adult Read from: January 1,2019-January 31, 2019 Publication- October 2, 2018 by Dutton Books for Young Readers Edition I read-  US Hardback Rating- 4.5 stars In the fourth book in the series Jacob and the gang are in America mostly, while scenes are in the place where they spent time in the previous books, I assume this is England somewhere, but I’m not sure it  was  ever established . As the book progresses, we learn more and more about Abe and who he was as a person. The book ran in two timelines, but I will get more into this later on in the review.
