Crank is by Ellen Hopkins. It is about a girl named Kristina. She hasn't spoken or seen her dad in several years and wants to reconnect with him again. She goes to visit him in Chicago. When she arrives at his apartment she didn't expect what she sees. Her dad is a drug and alcoholic who works at a bowling alley. After she tries to settle in to the disgusting bed which who can see her dad didn't put in work in fixing up for her she meets a guy named Adam who like to be called Buddy. He asks her what her name is and she says Bree. Adam "Buddy" snorts crank, smokes and drinks as well changes her. When she goes back home she is a totally different person and doesn't know what to do...
I really liked this book even though it had dark and somewhat scary topics for some people. It is very intense and has secrets.

ANNA! you just love this book! i loved it to however i might not have enjoyed the book as much. the sequil to the book isnt as good and i would not recomend it.
Yea, Amanda, i would agree. I really enjoyed "Crank" but the sequel "Glass" is kind of monotonous.
I thought that Burned was the best of the "series". If you really, really liked this, though, I would say give Glass a try. These books go really fast, after all.
