Crank The monster grabs you and you really can never get away from it. I read the book crank and the the author of my book was Ellen Hopkins. The book is fiction but it is loosely based on the authors real daughter story. I think the themes of the story are trust life drugs stuff like that. Crank is about a 16 year old girl named Kristina. Kristina was the picture perfect daughter. She did really well in school never touch a drug in her life and she never had a boyfriend. Then she went to see her dad and she hasn't seen him in a while. She gets there and see her dad and finds out he is not the knight in shining amour she tough he was. She mets this boy name Adam and tells him her name is Bree and he tells her people call him buddy. Then she starts to hang out with her and falls in love with him and use crank with him for the first time. She refers to crank as the monster. Well she went walking around after trying the monster which she snorted and ran in to three guys. This three guys tried to gang rape her but Adam came and stop them. Then her and Adam got a ride home from the cops. Adam told her that night that she was falling in love with her and she told him the same. There was a problem Adam had a girlfriend. Her name was Lynx. Adam and Kristina talked all night long and fell for each other and in that time they did the monster one night they were kisses and they good out now. Kristina's dad and Lynx walked in. they flipped out then calmed down and they all did a few lines of crank together. Later on Adam told Lynx about him and Kristina and she jump of the ledge of the apartment and had to got to the hospitable. Adam and Kristina saw her the next day. Kristina had to leave very soon so Adam gave her a tattoo to remember him by it was a heart. She went back home were Kristina mom step dad brother and sister greeted her. Kristina thinks her mom is a fake ice queen mom her step dad Scott is an mean person her little brother Jake in annoying and her sister Leigh was an lesbian. She really didn't like her family. She got a letter from Adam saying that they cant be together but he wants to be friends and that Lynx was getting better and she was starting to talk and stuff again. She was really upset and her sister talked to her about how she really likes this gird named heather and it made her fell better. She went to a family picnic with her friends Sarah and Trent. Trent was gay and she tough they were both kinda annoying. She was craving the monster. She they Bree come out her other side of her the one who Adam fell in love with. She met a boy named Chase there who was an bad ass and a boy named Brendan who was an life guard. Her mom saw her tattoo and she was GUFN ( grounded until further notice). Then school was about to start and her mom let Let off grounding and she went to the mall and went shopping where she saw Chase and Brendan and told them how she was GUFN. She hung off with chase and did the monster. School started and she was hanging off with chase more and more she was falling for him. She was getting really tired and fell asleep her little brother ran in and threw water on her to get her up she walked down starts looked her mom in the face and said fuck you to her. She was again GUFN and weeks went by the said sorry she was let off. She went on a date with Brendan and her tried to have sex with her she said no they where both on crank and told him she never had sex he wanted to take her v card next time they hung out and she wanted an 8th ball. They went on an other date. They snorted a few lines together then Brendan raped her drove home threw her the 8 ball and said you owe me 400 dollars and she paid up. She was really upset told Chase and Chase said he wanted to kill him. Then her and Chase were really falling for each other. Time went by she hung out more she did more crank and hung out with Trent's sister and smoked crank for the first time. She saw Brendan later and yelled at him. It was Bree who yelled at him. It was Kristina's birthday and she went to chase house there was a party people there were doing e bombs and she did a few her and Chase had sex for the first time and I was special. They released it was 4 in the morning and they cleared everyone out of the house. Chase got Kristina home and she was GUFN. She wanted see Chase so she shuck out and got asserted lied try to get out meet some girl there and got a crank connect. She start to sell and get money she started to to crank more and more time went by and Kristina found out she was pregnant and the dad was Chase .They went to planned parenthood. On the ride there Kristina found out that Chase was getting a full ride to USC in California. It was Chase dream and Chase ask Kristina to marry him but she was only 17. They got to planned parent hood they asked her she thought back remember and then found out the baby's farther was Brendan and she passed out. She woke up the talked out what to do she got in the car told Chase was upset but said he would be there for her. She went to Brendan and told him trended to tell and said she wanted the 500 dollar for the abortion. That night she went home felt the baby kid and told home mom the next day. She was mad but got over it she found out it was going to be a boy and start to think of s name. Chase said he would stay but she said no go. Time wen by she graduated from school she had the baby named it Seth she was so happy and released nothing was wrong with it her crank dealer was asserted early. She was happy she stop doing crank all her family members loved her baby she was happy too. She held the baby and that was the only time in the past year she felt every thing was right. Time went by her mom was holding the baby and being nice to it and she wonder if she every be a loving mother like that. She didn't do crank in a while but she said sometimes she wants to curl up and ball and just died the only thing that would make her happy was crank and this is what she said “ crank is more than a drug it is a way of life but you can never really walk away the monster will forever speak to. And to day it's calling me out the door”. My conclusion of this book is that Kristina was a nice girl turned bad and the monster took a hold of her. She went thought hell and back and met the right boy named Chase who had to leave. She had her baby and didn't do crank for a while but is is calling for her name again. I really like this book is was really good and I want to read the second book to it glass. I really like this book and I liked doing doing this book reported.
