Weird on the Outside When sixteen-year-old Tracey runs away she finds that making ends meet in New York City for a young girl with few real skills is nearly impossible. That’s when Tracey becomes Amanda, a topless dancer. On her first day of work, another dancer gives Amanda this advice: “Never mix this place with the real world.” but already Tracey’s and Amanda’s worlds seem like one big blur... “Tracey is one of the most interesting female characters in recent YA fiction.... In a sense this is a survival novel.” (The Horn Book) *An ALA Recommended Book for Reluctant Young Readers |
