500 Character book report on book #98 of the ALA's Top 100 Most Banned and Challenged Books: 2010-2019. "Tricks" by Ellen Hopkins Young Adult Poetry
The book details the lives of five fictional teens as they fall into sexual slavery. They live desperate lives and discover how exploitive people can be. Hard to read due to the level of despair. The author is (thankfully) vague in describing sex acts. The book has recently climbed to the third most banned book on the ALA list. 4.5/5

"We had to get into the top 100,” Freeland says. “That was a life-or-death matter for Northeastern.”
Freeland succeeded: Northeastern was ranked #162 when he took the job, and it rose to #98 just after he retired. Now it stands at #53. For an Optimize Guy, this is a huge win.6
It's tempting to look at Freeland's career with awe, but the appropriate feeling is horror. Everybody agrees that the US News rankings are stupid. Rising in those rankings is also stupid. Freeland himself wrote that a university president's main job is to articulate the institution's values; the value he articulated was “make a magazine give us a lower number.”
