John Steptoe New Talent Award (2019)

În Monday's Not Coming, Tiffany D. Jackson construiește o narațiune tensionată care pornește de la o premisă tulburătoare: cum poate o adolescentă să dispară fără ca nimeni, în afară de cea mai bună prietenă a ei, să raporteze absența? Claudia și Monday sunt mai mult decât prietene, sunt o unitate socială în fața dificultăților școlare, iar când Monday nu apare în prima zi de școală, Claudia intuiește imediat o tragedie. Remarcăm modul în care Jackson refuză să scrie un simplu roman polițist, alegând în schimb să exploreze fracturile dintr-o comunitate unde o tânără poate deveni invizibilă pentru autorități și chiar pentru propria familie. Din perspectiva formatului audio, povestea capătă o dimensiune intimă, vocea personajului principal subliniind izolarea și disperarea de a fi singura care caută adevărul. Această lucrare, recompensată cu John Steptoe New Talent Award în 2019, consolidează stilul autoarei de a pune sub lupă traumele sistemice, teme prezente și în alte scrieri ale sale, precum Let Me Hear a Rhyme sau Allegedly. Subliniem structura narativă care alternează între prezent și trecut, oferind cititorului indicii despre dinamica toxică din jurul casei lui Monday și despre eșecul instituțiilor care ar fi trebuit să o protejeze. Tonul este unul sobru, reflectând maturitatea scriiturii lui Tiffany D. Jackson, care reușește să transforme o dispariție individuală într-o critică socială tăioasă. Deși este destinată categoriei de vârstă 12-17 ani, complexitatea psihologică a personajelor și realismul dur al situațiilor prezentate fac din acest volum o experiență de lectură profundă pentru orice vârstă.

Recenzii

“A mesmerizing, punch-in-the-gut story about the power of friendship and the horrors hiding right in front of us.” — Laurie Halse Anderson, author of Speak and Chains
“This thought-provoking thriller examines issues such as abuse, gentrification, and the marginalization of people of color with nuance and sensitivity. The narrative deftly moves back and forth between past and present, building to a devastating conclusion. A spellbinding, profoundly moving choice for YA collections.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
“Jackson effortlessly weaves elements of suspense with issues of race, class, and gender, casting a harsh light on a world that often refuses to notice the disappearances of black and brown girls. The twist at the end is both gaspworthy and heartbreaking.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
“Jackson doesn’t hold anything back when it comes to the pain of abuse and the ramifications of turning a blind eye. It’s a frank, devastating read filled with real and flawed characters, and it’s a story that needs to be read.” — Booklist
“In addition to a gripping plot line, underlying social issues bubble beneath the surface, such as neighborhood gentrification, race, poverty, community, the healing of connection, and the destruction in disconnection.” — The Horn Book
“The gravest, most fundamental challenge in Tiffany D. Jackson’s devastating novel is leveled at a society that purports to value children while allowing untold numbers of them, particularly poor children and children of color, to fall through the cracks.” — Chicago Tribune
PRAISE FOR ALLEGEDLY: ★ “With remarkable skill, Jackson offers an unflinching portrayal of the raw social outcomes when youth are entrapped in a vicious cycle of nonparenting and are sent spiraling down the prison-for-profit pipeline. Dark, suspenseful.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
★ “Her novel effectively joins Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th and Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow (2010) to become another indictment of the penal system’s decimating power beyond its bars and, more subtly and refreshingly, a pro-reproductive-justice novel. Searing and true.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
★ “The characters are complex, the situation unsettling, and the line between right and wrong hopelessly blurred. It’s also intensely relevant, addressing race, age, and mental illness within the criminal justice system. Well conceived and executed, this is an absorbing and exceptional first novel.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
★ “Suspenseful without being emotionally manipulative, compelling without resorting to shock value, this is a tightly spun debut that wrestles with many intense ideas and ends with a knife twist that will send readers racing back to the beginning again.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Seen through Jackson’s dark portrait of the legal system and the failures of parents and social workers, Mary’s environments are as grim as the stories that play out in them; readers fascinated by procedural dramas will be thoroughly hooked.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“A well-executed, powerful journey into the claustrophobic life of a young girl trying to navigate what little is left after the world has judged her, and what she will do to escape it.” — Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of A Madness So Discreet
“A riveting, gut-wrenching thriller and a stunning debut.” — Daniel José Older, New York Times bestselling author of Shadowshaper 
“Tiffany Jackson’s timely and chilling debut will haunt you for a long time. An extraordinary new voice.” — Justine Larbalestier, author of Liar and My Sister Rosa
