Resumen del Editor

"Jackson’s characters and their heart-wrenching story linger long after the final page, urging readers to advocate for those who are disenfranchised and forgotten by society and the system." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping new novel about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.

Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable - more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried.

When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now, Claudia needs her best - and only - friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help.

As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s 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 she’s gone?

Such a good read!

Oh my goodness! Such a good book. As a parent, educator, etc., this book was a reminder to stay observant and seek help when needed. The book was well-written and the audio performance enhanced the emotion. Definitely recommend this book.

AMAZING

I have only felt so emotional while reading/listening to a book once and it was the Hate You Give. This book made me feel speechless.

Love it

I love this book and especially the powerful message behind it I also liked how surprised u was at the end of the book since I wasn’t expecting that. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Specially to teens.

A Reminder

This book is a reminder that we never know what a child is going through. This story was well written and brought me to tears numerous times. It's lesson to us all to be involved and speak up because this could easily happen. Loved the book and I highly recommend it for teens and adults.

Confused and Entertained

In the middle it was struggle to get through because of all the back and forth through time but once I knew why it all made sense. The narrator did a good job. her voice was easy to listen to.

Outstanding emotional rollercoaster

You know, this book was awesome as it truly grabbed every part of my soul and emotion. I can’t remember the last time I cried reading or even listening to a book and here I was doing my chores with my headphones on having to sit down and sob like a baby for like fifteen minutes. This whole story really stresses the importance of checking on one another and not just pushing it aside when you think of someone. We live in day and age that everyone wants to mind their own business and be antisocial and oh what a popular statement it is to say “I hate people” but seriously it stressed the importance of being a village and asking questions and digging deeper if things don’t seem right. This book has given a great view of mental illness. This story has truly tugged at my soul for so many reasons. It might take a while before moving on to the next. Happy reading.

A Good Listen

Overall, this was a good story. It can get confusing to follow but I guess it’s supposed to be like that? Especially if you’re trying to make sense of “the after” and “before the before” etc. I wish the parts where the narrator spoke slang was a little more believable and less proper.

Very good read

This book was very sad but very well written. I love the characters. This book address is child abuse, community involvement, and parenting support in a very real way.

love the book

that story was very emotional but true a lot of insight on how you have to keep fighting for what you believe in don't give up if something's wrong fight for it until you get to the answer keep writing I'll keep listening and keep buying your book

When I tell you , this a good book

It is terribly sad but a Chicago reality

You won’t regret it if these suspense books are your jam.
