One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

by Jasper Fforde

Book 6 of the Thursday Next series

When the real Thursday Next disappears before peace talks that might prevent a genre war, her fictional counterpart is asked to investigate. The written Thursday leaves her quiet series and crosses a newly remapped BookWorld where every landscape and citizen depends on literary convention. Searching for her famous original tests whether an officially disappointing imitation can become a capable heroine in her own right. Clever and self-aware, this installment suits readers who enjoy doubles, fictional geography, genre satire, and underdogs discovering that being a copy does not require repeating someone else's choices.
