Interesting young adult fiction. It's written in the voice (1st person) of the child. I'm guessing him to be in the 12 year old range. It's an easy read and interesting, although some parents might find the mention of a stripper as inappropriate. I will say that there is absolutely nothing graphic in the book. It's about a boy and his mother. She dances in a club to pay the bills. He goes to the club (only the back employee areas) a few times and draws sketches of the women there. The sketches draw the attention of child protective services and they have to defend their family & her work choice.
