Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

A profound, witty novel by New York Times bestselling author Wendy Mass about what happens when you die and realize that heaven...looks a lot like the mall?

When 16-year-old Tessa suffers a shocking accident in gym class, she finds herself in heaven (or what she thinks is heaven), which happens to bear a striking resemblance to her hometown mall. In the tradition of It’s a Wonderful Life and The Christmas Carol, Tessa starts reliving her life up until that moment. She sees some things she’d rather forget, learns some things about herself she’d rather not know, and ultimately must find the answer to one burning question--if only she knew what the question was.

Written in sharp, witty verse, Wendy Mass crafts an extraordinary tale of a spunky heroine who hasn’t always made the right choices, but needs to discover what makes life worth living.
