Title: One of Our Thursdays Is Missing
Author: Jaspar Fforde
Genre: Comic meta-fantasy (sixth in on-going series)
Thingummies: 3.5

Synopsis: In previous installments, Jurisfiction/SpecOps agent Thursday Next has jumped in and out of books to save the world, both real and fictional. She's foiled megacorporations, tangled with time travel, and rewritten the end of Jane Eyre. This latest book stars not Thursday herself, but the fictional Thursday from the books about Thursday who must leave her books when the original Thursday goes missing. Confused yet? So's Thursday. Also, Thursday.
