A haunting, unforgettable novel about a missing girl—and the silence that surrounds her.

Monday Charles is missing. And no one seems to notice—except Claudia.

In Monday’s Not Coming, bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson delivers a heart-wrenching, suspenseful story about friendship, truth, and the terrifying reality of how easily Black girls go unnoticed. When Claudia’s best friend Monday stops showing up at school, she immediately knows something’s wrong. But as Claudia digs deeper, she discovers a web of secrets, neglect, and unanswered questions that no one seems willing to confront.

Gripping, emotionally raw, and unflinchingly honest, this novel shines a powerful light on the erasure of Black girls in America—and the ones who refuse to stay silent.
