A Fantastic Read

This has always been on the keeper shelf since the first time I read it almost 20 years ago. It's a book that really captivates the reader and truly makes one wonder "what if ...?" My 13 year old daughter is reading my original copy now and loves it almost as much as I do. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a kid that thrives on adventure and has an imagination as big as the universe itself. It's a truly amazing read and Peek did an excellent job on it.

Read it 25 years ago- still own my copy.

Read this book in 1979 or 1980, as a pre-teen, and it is one of the few books still on my shelf from that long ago. Peck's writing is imaginative and vivid, and this book captured my attention. The secret world of a shopping mall at night after the lights are out! I would recommend it to any young person, male or female.

A book that lets you relive all of your childhood fantasies!

This book is my favorite book ever. I read it four years ago and still enjoy reading it again and again. Each event within this novel is thrilling. Richard Peck captivates the minds of both children and adults alike. I strongly recommend this masterpiece of the imagination for everybody who is willing to rediscover their childhood beliefs.

This is a great book for young adults!!

I read this book as a young adult, and it kept my attention. I encourage all young adults to read this book.

You'll never look at a Mall the same way again!

I read this book as a teen. A story about being in an upredictable adventure while locked in a shopping mall. Creepy,yet entertaining!
