One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

Dazzlingly funny and imaginative, Jasper Fforde's books have won him the affection of readers, reviewers, and - dare we say it - booksellers alike. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because Thursday Next - or at least one of her - is back. At a time of great unrest in the BookWorld, only the ace literary detective can avert a devastating Genre War - thing is, Thursday has vanished. Now the written Thursday must answer the call, save the Bookworld, evade capture, and find the actual Thursday! With a clockwork Butler in tow, and Men in Plaid as well as her Designated Love Interest in pursuit, she must reluctantly agree to journey up the mysterious Metaphoric River for answers.
