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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was adopted at birth and raised by a great, loving older couple. I grew up in Palm Springs CA, although we summered in Napa and Lake Tahoe, to avoid those 120 degree summers. After my adopted parents died, I did find my birth mother, who lives in Michigan with my half sister.

I studied journalism in college, but left school to marry, raise kids and start my own business--a video store, before the mega-chains were out there. After a divorce, I met my current husband and we moved to Tahoe to become ski bums and otherwise try to find our dreams. At that time, I went to work for a small alternative press, writing stories and eventually editing.

When we moved down the mountain to the Reno area, I started writing nonfiction books, many of which you can see here. The rest are viewable on my personal website. I also continued to freelance articles for newspapers and magazines.

All that has changed, with the publication of my novel, CRANK, which has led to a valued career writing YA novels in verse, all of which explore the more difficult situations young adults often find themselves in. Will I ever write one in prose? No doubt! But, for the moment, writing novels in verse fulfills two needs: writing poetry and writing fiction. The combination is so interesting!

Another good one!

I have read every single one of Ellen Hopkins books and this book is another reason why I will continue to pick up whatever book she writes. This book is about sex trafficking, and while some people may not feel comfortable with the topic, it could be worse, if that makes sense. Ellen covers the very surface of sex trafficking: drugs, rape, the legal aspect, basically it is not as graphic as speaking about sex trafficking could be. The imagery and words Ellen uses allows you to connect to the characters. Personally, I related to two of the characters (Eden & Ginger), more so because I thought they were truly forced into the life. If you are familiar with any of Hopkins previous books, this is written in the same type of format, and she has a way of writing about difficult concepts and making it a learning experience.

At this point, I will stop babbling. If you have read Tricks, then pick this sequel and find out how the 5 teens come back from their life of tricking.

Please don't think I thought it would be bad! If you are familiar with this author

I had no idea there was going to be a sequel to Tricks. I logged on to Amazon one day and it was on the front page that I could preorder (which I did immediately because I am obsessed with Ellen Hopkins' work). At first, I had to pump myself up to read it. Please don't think I thought it would be bad! If you are familiar with this author, you know the emotional roller coaster of her novels. It's just something I have to prepare myself for whenever I start a new one. Traffick did not disappoint me one bit. Everything flowed flawlessly and I was completely absorbed into the story. It was not an easy read though, oh no. Every few chapters I had to put it down just to absorb everything and bring my brain back to reality. I just loved it! I'll read it again, I know I will.

The book traffic is really a heart-rending book, that opens up the lives of five teenagers, to to the world of sex,drug trafficking and drug abuse. I cannot imagine any one being exposed to living in the sin capitol of the world. I can imagine that these peoples lives were ripped by the ugly truth that it can happen to any one at any time.

I love Ellen Hopkins

I love Ellen Hopkins. I find that she is a genius when it comes to writing and she has this incredible ability to to reach many age groups with her writing. The style in which she writes makes any one able to follow the story so well, and she brings all the charters to life in such a way that you feel like you know them personally. And I love that she isn't afraid to write about the "hard stuff" that is going on in the world that effects everyone one way or another. Anyway, this book was just as incredible as I thought it would be. I don't expect anything less when it comes to this author :)

I've read almost all of Ellen Hopkins book, and this one didn't disappoint. The characters draw you in and their stories keep you wanting to know what's next. The way she ties the story lines and characters together really makes it feel like you are seeing one huge story from multiple angles. What's great is you don't have to read all of the books, or read them in any certain order (except for a few), to get a complete story.

Rushed and sloppy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2015

While this novel provided some closure to the characters' stories, the latter half of it felt too rushed, as if the author was trying to cram as much as she could into the novel without going into any detail, especially in Whitney's case (even though her story was perhaps the most tedious, which was fitting for such an insipid, vacuous character).

In addition, Eden's story was intriguing, but tainted by the excessive emphasis on the allegedly curative power of pure and true love. As I said in a criticism of 'IMPULSE', Hopkins treats love in her novels as the magic cure to all problems, which is downright absurd, and a recklessly deluded message to send, especially to any younger readers.
