What if your teacher could read your mind just because she was born on a
Thursday? Or the kid next to you in class could turn back the clock just
because he was a Wednesday? In the quirky town of Nova, all of this is
normal. Poppy Mayberry, an almost-11-year-old Monday, should be able to
pass notes in class or brush her dog, Pickle, without lifting a finger.
Poppy's Monday telekinesis ability has some kinks and that plate of
spaghetti she's passing may just end up on someone's head. If that's not
hard enough, practically-perfect Ellie Preston is out to get her and
Principal Wible wants to send Poppy to remedial summer school to work on
her powers! It's enough to make a girl want to disappear. If only she
were a Friday.
