Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

Five troubled teenagers fall into prostitution as they search for freedom, safety, community, family, and love in this #1 New York Times bestselling novel in verse from Ellen Hopkins.

When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival.

Five teenagers from different parts of the country. Three girls. Two guys. Four straight. One gay. Some rich. Some poor. Some from great families. Some with no one at all. All living their lives as best they can, but all searching...for freedom, safety, community, family, love. What they don't expect, though, is all that can happen when those powerful little words "I love you" are said for all the wrong reasons.

Five moving stories remain separate at first, then interweave to tell a larger, powerful story--a story about making choices, taking leaps of faith, falling down, and growing up. A story about kids figuring out what sex and love are all about, at all costs, while asking themselves, "Can I ever feel okay about myself?"

Ellen Hopkins is the author of multiple young adult novels as well as adult novels such as Triangles, Collateral, and Love Lies Underneath, which have all been #1 New York Times bestsellers. She has launched Ventana Sierra, a nonprofit adolescent housing and resource program, in Carson City, Nevada, where she resides with her family. @EllenHopkinsLit is her Twitter handle.
