The Glass Cafe, or, The Stripper and the State; how my mother started a war with the system that made us kind of rich and a little bit famous by Gary Paulsen

This book is not much longer than the title :-) but it is engaging. When Tony decides he wants to be an artist and does portraits of his mother's co-workers down at the Kitty Kat Club, the State steps in to regulate with hilarious results.

Highly Recommended
