About this book

An average teen’s life spins out of control after she becomes addicted to crystal meth in this #1 New York Times bestselling novel in verse, the first in the Crank trilogy from master poet Ellen Hopkins. Life was good before I met the monster. After, life was great, At least for a little while. Kristina Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble. Then, Kristina meets the monster: crank.

And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul—her life.
