Starred review from March 23, 2015
“To be touched gently. To be seen clearly. To be part of a family. To be fed regularly. To be protected. To be loved for free.” These are the things that eighth-grader Dime wants but doesn’t receive from her foster mother. That’s why she moves in with a group of girls and a man they call “Daddy.” Before she knows it, Dime is part of a prostitution ring, still seeking comfort and love. Frank (America) delves deeply into the psychology of a lost girl who realizes she is trapped in a life she doesn’t want. Dime seeks escape
in books but rarely has the time or means to obtain them. When Daddy brings home 11-year-old Lollipop to work for him, Dime begins to separate truth from lies and right from wrong. Written from the perspective of Dime, who is anxious to compose a “note” that could save at least one innocent victim, the novel frankly depicts the physical abuse and emotional manipulation that tie young girls to their keepers. Images of violence, greed, and emotional longing will linger with readers. Ages 14–up. Agent: Heather Schroder, Compass Talent.

Gr 9 Up-Thirteen-year-old Dime is a product of the foster system. She finds an escape in the books she reads, but she struggles academically because she is called on to help out with the younger foster children at home. One day she meets a girl who takes her in. Dime finds acceptance here, but is slowly groomed into becoming a prostitute. The book takes the form of a note that Dime is trying to write, whose purpose is unclear until the last chapters. The multiple nested flashbacks and the attempts to have other concepts contribute to the note (such as Money or Truth) much as Death narrated Marcus Zusak's The Book Thief (Knopf, 2006) (Dime herself credits Zusak for this idea) would have failed at the hands of a lesser writer, but they are effective here. The simple, one-line note that the protagonist ultimately writes is heartbreaking. The conditions in which Dime and the other trafficked girls live are horrendous and difficult to read about; however, this novel serves to illustrate that small acts of kindness can make a difference. This title will appeal to fans of grittier problem novels, like those written by Ellen Hopkins, and will provoke discussion. In spite of the gritty content, there is good reason to make this title accessible to middle schoolers as well. There is a helpful resource list in the back matter, including information for victims and survivors of trafficking. VERDICT An important work that should be an essential part of library collections.-Kristin Anderson, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, OH
