Absolutely LOVED this novel in stories from Christopher Stanton. Such an original and fascinating plot: Early 80s, a state-of-the-art mall opening, and fourteen characters take center stage as the Christmas season gets underway. I loved meeting every character.

At children's book event, I sneezed. A kid in the front whispered to his friend, "When someone sneezes, it means someone is talking about their butt." The friend shrugged. I rattled off 5 more sneezes. The kid looked at his friend. "Someone is *really* talking about his butt!"
