Description: Tricks by Ellen Hopkins Five troubled teenagers fall into prostitution as they search for freedom, safety, community, family, and love. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "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. What they dont 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 about, at all costs, while asking themselves, "Can I ever feel okay about myself?" A brilliant achievement from New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins. Tricks is a book that turns you on and repels you at the same time. Just like so much of life.

Review Quote "Each story is unique...while readers may connect with some characters more than others, they will long remember each painful story." Excerpt from Book Tricks Not Wrong for Me No, not at all. Andrew is pretty much perfect. Not gorgeous, not in a male model kind of way, but he is really cute, with crazy hair that sometimes hides his eyes, dark chocolate eyes that hold laughter, even when hes deadly serious. Hes not a hunk, but toned, and tall enough to effortlessly tuck me under his arms, arms that are gentle but strong from honest ranch work, arms that make me feel safe when they gather me in. Its the only time I really feel wanted, and the absolute best part of any day is when I manage to steal cherished time with Andrew. No, hes not even a little wrong for me except maybe--maybe!--in the eyes of God. But much, much worse than that, hes completely wrong for my parents.
