Brutually honestly and with gripping detail, Ellen Hopkins didn't hold back with Tricks. Since her groundbreaking Crank and shocking Identical, Tricks has got to be the most surprising of all her novels.
She weaves together in great detail the stories of 5 teenagers with different backgrounds and personalities but the same falling into the grips of the underground sex trade of America. Some might think that this book is much too mature for teenagers, but Ellen took great care in writing a novel that is not only honest, but is quite frank of the dangers of this all too real danger that has taken the lifes of millions of teens.
A highly recommended read. Yet again Ellen Hopkins has written a novel that teens and adults alike can relate to.
We finally get to find out whatever happened to Arianna Osgood.
After the murder of fellow classmate Thomas Pearson, whom she murdered, Arianna is caught and sent to prison. She's spent two years in a women's facility and now she is making plans.
In the first book of Kate Brian's new series "Privilege", we get a deep glimpse into the dark psyche of one of Private's most intriquing characters.
It was an awesome book. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely stunning. April Henry really takes you on an emotional wild trip through the eyes of Cassie, whom is trapped in a mexican prison for teens. I couldn't put this book down! April writes with such emotion and suspence. I'd highly recommend it.

"Something, Maybe" has to be one of the most amusing yet emotion-filled novels I have had the pleasure to read. Hannah is a strong character and voice, and she is easy to relate to. We have all had our moments of embarassing parents and unrequited love. And the way Elizabeth wrote this, it is just amazing. I highly recommend it.

Written in the same poetic and emotional style of "Speak", "Wintergirls" is an intense journey into the mind of Lia, a girl who struggles with anorexia. Laurie Halse Anderson did an amazing job with this novel. Not only is this novel hauntingly beautiful, it truly describes the inner battles that someone with an eating disorder and mental illness goes through.
I highly, highly recommend this book. It is sure not to disappoint.
