This week's book pick is Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher.

15-year old Ruby Jacinski knows what it's like to have it tough. Her father died several years ago, and her mother's rheumatoid arthritis has made her unable to work. That means Ruby has had to quit school and go to work herself. Working in the packinghouse is no picnic, and Ruby doesn't see how she'll ever pay the bills with her low salary. But when cute Paulie Suelze tells her how she can make real money - by working at a dance "academy," dancing with paying male customers - Ruby's convinced she's got everything figured out. Getting paid to dance sounds like the best job Ruby could ever have, until she realizes that nothing is what it seems.
