16 year old Kristina goes to visit her estranged father and is soon introduced to a totally different world than where she lives with her mother and stepfather. Her alter ego, Bree tries crank out with her dad and is hooked. Back at home with her mother, Kristina feels ignored and smothered, and needs more drugs and more boys. Crank is a page turner that will grab you and hold on almost as tight as the drug for which it is named. Hopkins uses all kinds of creative verse, and plays with spacing on the page, sometimes providing two alternative readings.
Crank is the first book in a trilogy... check out Glass and Fallout to see what else happens to Kristina.
