Book Report: Crank

By: Ellen Hopkins

The book Crank starts off talking about a girl who is the perfect daughter, who lives with her mom. On vacations she wanted to go with her dad. Her dad loves her but he has never told anyone that he has a daughter. His daughter started to hang out with this guy that she just met and his name is Adam. Adam introduces her to this substance called cocaine that in the book is called “The Monster”. The perfect daughter starts to use that substance called cocaine and she gets addicted to it. So she doesn’t eat anything because the “monster” doesn’t let her brain to think about food. So I few months passed now and she went to live with her mom again. Another few months pass and she finds another boyfriend who got her pregnant, and she says that “life is rough”. I kind of like this book because it relates to some teenagers who get addicted to stuff like that because of some problems with their families. And I like the ending of the book where it says “being a parent as a teen is rough”.
