The novel, Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson tells the story of Claudia trying to find her best friend Monday who seems to be missing. Claudia and Monday were inseparable for years, they never did anything without each other which makes losing Monday so much harder for Claudia. The summer before 8th grade, Claudia goes on a trip to see her Grandmamma in Georgia. When Claudia comes home, she can’t wait to tell her best friend about everything she did in Georgia but to her surprise, Monday never comes by the house and never answers the phone. Claudia asks everybody if they have seen her best friend, but Claudia is forced to find Monday herself. It was as if Monday fell off the face of the Earth and only Claudia noticed. This book takes place both before and after Monday is found which makes the novel even more intriguing and interesting. Everywhere Claudia goes I feel like I am there trying to convince her to keep going and to never give up. Tiffany D. Jackson does an incredible job getting the reader to be entertained and to keep turning the page. This story, being about a missing child, is very sad but powerful. For readers who like realistic fiction mysteries, you should pick up this book immediately. I recommend that you should be around the age of 13 years old because there are some curse words and some mature content, you should only read this if you can handle that older content. Jump into Claudia’s life for a little while and read Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson.
