Recommended by Mrs Toner: “Monday’s not coming” By Tiffany D Jackson

Set in a poor suburb of Washington DC, Claudia’s best (& only) friend Monday fails to show up at school after the summer break. Claudia is worried but when she tries to dig deeper into the mystery she meets brick walls. No one is willing to give her a straight answer and even her own parents are pretty evasive. This is a raw, gripping contemporary young adult novel about a beautiful friendship but with a hard hitting ending. 

This book is available as an audio book via Overdrive
