"The Girl in the Mall is a story about a young girl, Andi, whose world is suddenly turned upside down. Andi runs away from home and takes up residence in the Eaton Centre, in Toronto, Ontario. Desperate, and all alone, Andi needs to turn to pick-pocketing and scavenging for food and money. She feels very alone until she meets Noah, a young high-school student with a stutter. Andi and Noah develop a friendship and help each other out with their respective problems."-- Provided by publisher.
