A New Day

by Brad Meltzer

First published 2021

Sunday decides she has had enough. She walks away from her role as a day of the week, declaring herself tired of the job. The remaining six days face a crisis. They need a replacement, so they post a help wanted notice. The requirements are clear: the new day must bring relaxation, peace, and renewal. Candidates flood in with their proposals. Funday arrives with promises of entertainment. Bunday suggests a day devoted to baked goods. Acrobaturday offers athletic excitement. SuperheroDay proposes adventures and rescues. MonstersWhoResembleJellyfishDay presents something entirely unexpected. The situation spirals into chaos as more and more hopefuls appear, each pushing their own agenda. The days of the week struggle to maintain order. Then a small girl appears. She carries something special for Sunday: a thank-you gift that might change everything.
