When published in May of 2018, Tiffany D. Jackson’s thriller “Monday’s Not Coming” met with critical acclaim. The book has received the Coretta Scott King Award/John Steptoe Award for new talent.
Loosely inspired by two cases, one in Wash. DC and the other in Detroit, Jackson creates a fictional story with vivid character development.
The 464 page book shows the protagonist Claudia Coleman’s jarring loneliness after her best friend Monday Charles disappears on the first day of 8th grade.
The book weaves in issues of race, class, and gender as it pulls the reader along to find out what happened to Monday.
Here is a preview to get a “taste” of the book in case you wish to read it. This preview was created by only reading the first chapter of the book, the jacket, and the inside cover.

Hi James. This is SUCH a wonderful book. You might want to mention that students can borrow the book from our library. We have the book available as an e-book, an audiobook, and also as a physical book. (Unfortunately both physical books are checked out, but students can place a hold for when the copies are returned.) Here is the link to the books: https://tinyurl.com/yhycdp4v When clicking on the tile students will have the option to access the book through their school SORA account. If anyone has questions or needs help they can also email Mrs. London. Happy Reading!
