Crank by- Ellen Hopkins : Have you ever wanted to change something you regret doing , well i have and so does Kristina . Kristina is a teenager who goes to visit her biological
father, She moves in with her biological father as well. Before she moved in with her biological father Kristina was a straight-A student. Kristina decides to
change her life. Kristina creates a new identity for herself , calling herself
Bree. For the first time she smokes with her father and a new boyfriend. Once
back home, she can't break free of Bree, or the drug she calls "the monster."
Her comfortable suburban life begins to disappear as she gets deeper into crank:
She begins to do badly at a school, she struggles in to keep her grades up , steals money from her mom, and even ends up
at juvenile hall. She soon later meets two boys with whom she only has a relationship because of their connection to drugs and their ability to get them. This symbolizes the complete control that Kristina’s addiction has over her. After being raped, Kristina becomes pregnant, and after a long series of decisions, decides to keep the baby. In conclusion, all throughout her struggles, small conflicts and events were caused by Kristina’s addiction.
