Rose Sees Red

(3) YA Rose is a lonely dancer with a "black cloud over [her]." Then, one unexpected night, she and Russian neighbor, Yrena, also a dancer, take off for a life-altering voyage of discovery in their native New York City. The vivid characters' adventure is engrossing, while the 1980s setting and Reagan-era references add a historical thread that will appeal to even post-eighties-born teens.
