From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping novel about the mystery of one teenage girlâs disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.
Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparableâmore sisters than friends. So when Monday doesnât turn up for the first day of school, Claudiaâs worried.
When she doesnât show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldnât just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last yearâs rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her bestâand onlyâfriend more than ever. But Mondayâs mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Mondayâs sister April is even less help.
As Claudia digs deeper into her friendâs disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that sheâs gone?
