ALICE AYRES - THE MALL
Alice wanted to get something for Grace, but had come up at a loss on what to get the world's most socially precocious eleven-year-old. What do you get a girl who's about to be a teenager? Clothes were too personal - Grace could pick out her own clothes. Toys? Books? She could pick those out too. Makeup? Was eleven still too young for that?
Standing in front of a GameStop, Alice wondered if she shouldn't get Grace a handheld system or something.
