As Ian gains entry to the52, he forms close bonds with its founding members—Laura London, Daniel Madison, and Chris Ramsay. He attends private gatherings of the most extraordinary magicians working today, follows them to magic conventions in Las Vegas and England, and discovers some of the best tricks of the trade.

Five troubled teenagers fall into prostitution as they search for freedom, safety, community, family, and love in this #1 New York Times bestselling novel from Ellen Hopkins. 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…for freedom, safety, community, family, love. What they don’t 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 all 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—who has been called “the bestselling living poet in the country” by Mediabistro.com—Tricks is a book that turns you on and repels you at the same time. Just like so much of life.

"A STRATEGIC BOOK THAT GIVES YOU A SURE SHOT COMPETITIVE EDGE Competitive exams test the conceptual knowledge of students along with time management skills. However, several students generally do not get the expected rank/score just despite knowing all the concepts. It is an irony that students spend several precious hours and parents spend huge money running from one coaching institute to another, but nobody guides them on time management right from the beginning, and when students attend crash courses (about 1-2 months before competitive exam), they hardly have any time to master these skills. The author of this book strongly believes that with proper and timely strategic guidance every student can achieve in Competitive Exams. With the comprehensive coverage of chapters and inclusion of smart tricks, this book serves the purpose of enabling students with advanced abilities to attempt maximum number of questions accurately within the stipulated time. Though a book can never replace a teacher, but it should make the student feel the presence of the teacher. Keeping this in view, this book is written in student friendly, unique & innovative style with authentic shortcuts, tips & tricks for JEE (main and advanced), NEET and other competitive exams. This book encompasses 11 chapters. Each chapter starts with a quick review of the important concepts followed by shortcuts, tips & tricks. For illustration, questions from previous years papers of JEE and NEET with accurate & shortest possible solutions are provided along with each topic. The questions are based on the author’s interactions with students who had appeared in the aforementioned competitive exams in the past years. Solving the carefully handpicked questions given in this book, students will find themselves at ease with the Chemistry paper in any Competitive as well as Board examination. The strategic manner in which topics are inter-linked in this book will help in building a strong conceptual clarity among the students. This book has the strength to cover the entire syllabus in 10 days. For fast track coverage of the entire course/ online coaching, students can contact the author at [email protected]. Remember! Practice is the key to success. So, practice more and more questions on each every topic from a good question bank. And here's the last but not the least and the most important tip - revise all your incorrectly attempted question repeatedly and bookmark important questions so that you gain perfection in attempting a question having same or similar concept or trick. IT’S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT STUDYING HARD BUT STUDYING SMART!! "
