I agree! Hopkins has a knack for writing that kind of book, and Crank was no exception.fairykingdom wrote:There are two more books about Kristina and her addiction: Glass and Fallout. I think these three (as well as the rest of her books!) are great ways to spark important discussions with teens about difficult subjects.

Burned is about a young Mormo girl named Pattyn. She is the oldest of seven girls, her father is a raging alcoholic, one day she defies her parents and they send her to live with her Aunt J. She falls in love with a boy Ethan (which is quite magical, I fell in love with him myself), and she gets pregnant. I will not share the ending because YOU ALL should read it but it is quite traumatizing. I also just found out they are coming out with a sequel written from Pattyn and her little sister Jackie's perspective. Yay! Sept 2013
Impulse is another favorite, it is written from the perspective of three different teenagers. They all want to die. Their lives come together at a psych hospital...
DEFINTE READ!!!

I read this book three years ago, it introduced me to author Ellen Hopkins. I absolutely loved this book and it really does show the negative affects of addiction.

I read this book as an addict to meth-crank. It made me realise how crazy people on that stuff look and sound. Some of the obstacles the teens had to go through is just like my life story. It really hit close to home for me. Ellen Hopkins writes about the world from a drug users view and nailed it!
