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.

      Ellen Hopkins's distinctive characterizations of five teens who are in recovery from the effects of sex trafficking are given equally distinctive voices by five adept narrators. In this follow-up to Hopkins's 2009 novel TRICKS, listeners benefit from the uniqueness of each narrator as the story shifts between changing points of view. The different narrators' voices assist listeners who are new to the series to keep the characters straight. Straightforward deliveries work well as the narrators voice the traumatic pasts and painful rehab of the teens without resorting to melodrama or coming off as self-pitying. Overall, a weighty and difficult novel and an ensemble of highly nuanced and varied performances. E.M.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
