Traffick 

(Tricks, #2)

Author: Ellen Hopkins
Release Date: November 3rd, 2015

Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Poetry

I am a HUGE Ellen Hopkins fan. She has never once written a book I didn't love. When I read Tricks back in 2011 there was no plan for a follow up book. When she announced that she would be going back and writing a sequel I probably squealed a little. I am so excited to revisit the terrible, sad world of human trafficking but I will cross my fingers for the light at the end of the tunnel that I know Hopkins is capable of.  

Goodreads Summary:

Five teens victimized by sex trafficking try to find their way to a new life in this riveting companion to the 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.
