The Map
The Map: A Jackaby Story | William Ritter
26 posts | 40 read | 30 to read
Perfect for fans of Jackaby who are desperately awaiting the release of its sequel, Beastly Bones, this novella-length story follows the rollicking events of Abigail Rooks birthday celebration. Abigail hopes that her birthday will slip by unnoticed and uncelebrated, but her employer, detective of the supernatural R. F. Jackaby, has other plans. Using magical party crackers that teleport the pair to unknown destinations in time and space and a cryptic map that may lead to a forgotten treasure, Jackaby intends to give Abigail what he considers to be the best gift of all--adventure. Abigail and Jackaby must tame an enormous (and carnivorous) rabbit, defend a castle, and master a dirigible if they want to find the treasure and get back to New Fiddleham alive.

I really miss this series. Does anyone know if he‘s going to continue with it??

Michollio Fantastic Fiction has a blurb that says The Dire King is the conclusion to the series. 6y
Literary_Siren @Michollio Drat! I was really hoping he‘d write more about Jackaby and Abigail! 6y

And just like that, I‘ve run out of new Jackaby related things to read. Fingers crossed that the author decides to revisit these delightful characters at some point because I love them!

Fun little Jackaby and Rook story about a treasure map. Took about 45 minutes to read.

I almost missed it, but here's my monthly reading summary. Not a bad month, I read an oddly high number of non-fiction books this month! I've also started quite a few that I'm still working on.

A cute little short story. It didn't necessarily move the series' overall plot forward, but you are introduced to more supernatural beings, so maybe we'll see them again in other books? Regardless, it was a fun, quick read, and is worth a read if you liked Jackaby!

Imagineannie Does it fit between the first and second books? 8y
Merethebookgal @Imagineannie Yes, technically it's listed as Jackaby 1.5, but it's a stand-alone story, so I think it could be read at any time. 8y
Imagineannie @Merethebookgal thanks! I'm just about to finish Jackaby, so your timing is perfect. 8y
Merethebookgal @Imagineannie Nice! Enjoy 😃 8y

This short book is the story of Abigail's Birthday adventure with Jackaby. It's just a fun story to enjoy between the other books of the series with a treasure hunt instead of a mystery, but it includes the quirky banter of the characters which is my favorite aspect.

I'm sooooooo loving this series. Must slow down or I'm going to run out too soon. A lovely story/novella that keeps within the world but stands alone.

Look what I found! This is # 1.5 in the series and since I'm hardcore about completing series, gonna have to read this before starting # 2. This might also be a good way for those who were curious about the series to test the waters, so to speak.

jpmcwisemorgan This one was a good little addition to the series. And no testing the waters with Jackaby, just jump right in. 😉 8y
RanaElizabeth @jpmcwisemorgan And besides, if you test the waters with Jackaby, you're likely to be turned into a duck or have feathers sprout from your ears... 8y
Well-ReadNeck Ooooh, thanks for the heads up. I have Jackaby on my kindle. Seemed like a colder weather book. Hope to read this fall/winter. 8y
Merethebookgal Thanks for the info! 8y

How did I not know about this Jackaby e-story?! I don't read ebooks, silly. I stumbled on this novella and could not resist. Abigail wanted a low key birthday but instead she gets a crazy, Jackaby-style adventure involving much magic that stretches the imagination. It is also hilarious. Almost slapstick - these two have WAY too much fun!

Carol 😍🙌🤘 💖Jackaby! 8y
