Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

(3) YA A dodgeball-induced coma precipitates a unique exploration of the question "who am I?" for sixteen-year-old Tessa, whose near-death experience is a tour of the mall and the definitive memories it hosts. More character study than story, this verse novel is a lyrical, reflective, generously detailed portrait of one girl's incremental construction of self and the modern disconnect between identity and soul.
