Synopsis:
In Crank, Ellen Hopkins chronicles the turbulent and often disturbing relationship between Kristina, a character based on her own daughter, and the "monster," the highly addictive drug crystal meth, or "crank." Kristina is introduced to the drug while visiting her largely absent and ne'er-do-well father. While under the influence of the monster, Kristina discovers her sexy alter-ego, Bree: "there is no perfect daughter, / no gifted high school junior, / no Kristina Georgia Snow. / There is only Bree." Bree will do all the things good girl Kristina won't, including attracting the attention of dangerous boys who can provide her with a steady flow of crank.

Review:
I absolutely, positively, no freaking doubt about it, LOVED this!!!!! This was just an amazing piece and I can't wait to get Glass the next time I go to the library. I felt so emotionally invested in these poem and that's the best thing that could ever happen while reading any kind of poetry. I would definitely recommend this as a must read for poetry. This is a must read for all poetry lovers as well as for any newbies. Just be warned there are tough topics being discussed in this, such as drug abuse and rape, for anyone who may have triggers.
