Monique Polak

ON THE GAME (James Lorimer, 2005)

There’s nothing more exciting than being young and in love – especially when the object of your affection is older and showers you with gifts and attention. But when Yolande’s new boyfriend, Etienne, asks her to go on a date with another guy, it becomes clear that his love comes at a terrible price. Inspired by true events, On the Game follows one ordinary girl on an extraordinary journey into the dark world of teenage prostitution.

-- “Polak’s cautionary work is hauntingly convincing.” – Montreal Review of Books

-- “Polak has created a story that is entrenched with the reality surrounding teenagers today.” – CM: Canadian Review of Materials
