About This Item
Introducing the Tricks Paperback - an emotionally gripping novel that tackles the harrowing issue of teen prostitution. Written by renowned author Publishers Weekly, this book delves into the lives of five struggling teenagers as they find themselves caught in the dark world of turning tricks. Fans of Publishers Weekly's work will delight in the signature free verses and gritty details that she seamlessly weaves into the narrative. However, for newcomers, be forewarned that this novel contains graphic depictions of the teenagers' experiences.
One heart-wrenching story reveals a young girl who realizes her mother has sold her for a night with a stranger, while another shares the chilling account of a teenager pretending to enjoy deviant sex to gain the trust of a guard in a religious rehabilitation camp. While some elements of the plot may seem cliched, such as the preacher's daughter from Idaho being banished to the Tears of Zion camp after being caught with her boyfriend, each story unfolds slowly but powerfully. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the protagonists' desperation and experience a profound sense of their complete powerlessness once their descents into prostitution begin. Each of the five stories in this paperback is uniquely compelling. From a teenager in need of money to another who was rejected because of their sexuality, and yet another who was simply searching for love in the wrong places, readers will form connections with these characters and their painful journeys. Recommended for readers ages 14 and up, Tricks Paperback by Publishers Weekly is a thought-provoking and unforgettable novel that sheds light on an important societal issue.
Whether you're a fan of Tricks brand paperback books or enjoy gripping fiction and non-fiction, this book deserves a place on your reading list. So, grab your copy today and embark on a powerful literary journey that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

Ellen Hopkins All Books Editorial Review
The book "Glass" by Ellen Hopkins tells the story of five teenagers and their experiences with love and the sex industry. The characters, Eden, Seth, Whitney, Ginger, and Cody, each have their own struggles and backgrounds, but their lives intersect and intertwine throughout the story. The book is written in verse, but the audio book version also adds a novel-like feel with different voices for each character. The book is described as compelling, raw, and intense, with each character coming to life in the hands of the author. The material and circumstances of the book are harrowing and thought-provoking, shedding light on the issue of teenage Prostitution. The book also emphasizes the Consequences of one's choices and how they can spiral into life-altering events. While some reviewers found the book confusing at the beginning due to the numerous characters to keep up with, they appreciated how the characters' problems eventually become related and how they support and help each other. The character development was mentioned as a weakness, as some readers found it difficult to connect with or empathize with the characters. Overall, "Glass" is praised for its realistic portrayal of the sex industry and its impact on the lives of teenagers. It is recommended for older teens, aged 15 and older, as it can be intense and overwhelming.
