Description
When eleven-year-old Mina is banned from screen time, she sneaks out of the house with her game console and takes refuge at the mall.
Mina is so focused on her game that before she knows it, the mall is closed, deserted and locked with her stuck inside. But...is she really alone? Mina searches for a way out, all the while feeling as if she's being watched. To her horror, the store mannequins come to life and chase her down, determined to make her one of their own.

She lives in Montreal, Quebec, surrounded by her pencils, charcoals and friends.
