Retelling

Author's Note: I chose on of my favorite books, Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall, by Wendy Mass to demonstrate my understanding of retelling (on the reading rubric). Although most boys probably won't enjoy this book, it still was very interesting, and I highly recommend it.

A average high school girl is forced to make an important decision, in gym class: duck or stay standing? Her lack of judgment knocks her unconscious , and whisks her away to a form of heaven. There she finds significant objects, which represent events through out her life, and finally realizes the small sacrifices and choices she makes, effect her more than anyone else.
