What this book is about
Tiffany D. Jackson's thriller follows Claudia, who returns to DC after summer to find that her best friend Monday Charles has vanished. When adults and the school won't help her investigate, Claudia begins to uncover the truth herself. The novel deals with the systematic way Black girls go missing without media coverage or institutional concern — and what that silence enables. Dark, important, and well-crafted. For mature YA readers.
