In “dancergirl,” teenager Alicia Ruffino becomes an Internet sensation when a friend posts a video of Alicia dancing. Now she’s in the spotlight, and it’s uncomfortable — for a whole bunch of reasons. She’s got lots of followers and more than a few haters. Her friends are starting to act weird around her. And then there’s this stranger, a stalker, who wants more than just to watch her dance.
The thriller, written by Carol Tanzman, is intended for young adults. Teachers like Tanzman’s work; her first novel, “The Shadow Place,” was recommended by the Young Adults Library Services Association and the National Council of Teachers of English. Tanzman will sign copies of “dancergirl” tomorrow at the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza.
