About this ebook

Five teens victimized by sex trafficking try to find their way to a new life in this “sincere and moving” (Booklist) companion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Tricks from Ellen Hopkins, author of Crank.

In her bestselling novel, Tricks, Ellen Hopkins introduced us to five memorable characters tackling these enormous questions: Eden, the preacher’s daughter who turns tricks in Vegas and is helped into a child prostitution rescue; Seth, the gay farm boy disowned by his father who finds himself without money or resources other than his own body; Whitney, the privileged kid coaxed into the life by a pimp and whose dreams are ruined in a heroin haze; Ginger, who runs away from home with her girlfriend and is arrested for soliciting an undercover cop; and Cody, whose gambling habit forces him into the life, but who is shot and left for dead.

And now, in Traffick, these five are faced with the toughest question of all: Is there a way out? How these five teenagers face the aftermath of their decisions and experiences is the soul of this story that exposes the dark, ferocious underbelly of the child trafficking trade. Heartwrenching and hopeful, Traffick takes us on five separate but intertwined journeys through the painful challenges of recovery, rehabilitation, and renewal to forgiveness and love. All the way home.

Everytime I read one of Elleb Hopkin's books I cannot put it down. This one was no different I absolutely loved it. I read "Tricks" when I was fifteen and I don't think any other books have stuck with me quite like these have.

From beginning to end this novel was perfection. Ellen Hopkins is my favorite author. I love her sequels that allow of to follow these compelling characters that she creates. Her style is like nothing else. Her stories are gritty and honest. She never disappoints.

I love Ellen hopkins. Very few books can bring me to tears and this is one of them. The happy endings of the main characters and the sad endings of others. O hope she makes a companion book for this so we can know Alex and Maryann stories and many other characters.
