This week I started reading Crank, by Ellen Hopkins. Who also wrote Burned, Impulse, Glass, Identical and Tricks. Most of her books are about kids having trouble with drugs. Crank is about a girl named Kristina. that moves to Phoenix with her dad. Her mom and dad were divorced for years, and Kristina hadnt seen her dad in years. When Kristina is there, she meets Adam, and all of a sudden she turns into a new person named Bree. Bree is a completely different person from Kristina. They're almost polar opposites. Kristina is a good teenaged girl who got good grades and didnt get in truoble. Bree is a girl who does drugs, gets bad grades and gets in trouble.
Crank is very similar to "Go Ask Alice". Go Ask Alice is a book based on all completely true diary entries about a girl who gets into trouble with drugs. Just like Kristina, the girl (Anonymous) meets a person, and her world is turned upside down. Only one person changed her life, just like Adam did to Kristina.
Kristina has already changed a lot in just a short time in the book because of Adam, and I expect it just get worse and worse. Though I haven't read much of Crank, I can tell Bree is going to be a completely different person by the end of the book.
