Ellen Hopkins: Crank Trilogy
Ellen Hopkins: Crank Trilogy | Ellen Hopkins
CrankKristina is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble. Then she meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild ride turns into a struggle for her mind, her soul-her life. GlassCrank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she is determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grip . . . and it won't let go. FalloutNineteen years after Kristina met the monster-crank-her three children are reeling from the consequences of her decisions. Instead of one big, happy family, they are desperate tangle of scattered lives united by anger, doubt, and fear. There is more of Kristina in her children than they would ever like to believe. But when the thread that ties them together brings them face-to-face, they'll discover something powerful in each other and in themselves-the trust, the hope, the courage to begin to break the cycle.

Third of 3 books about Kristina Snow and addiction. This one holds the voices of her 3 older children: Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. These 3 live with different guardians and have different last names. Two more, boys under 13, live with Kristina‘s mom. Her children are troubled and angry, fearful and psychologically empty. Shows how addiction and abuse affects family and friends.

So, I am VERY late. Just read the Crank, and Glass books by Hopkins. Just started the Fallout book, last of the series. The change of perspectives is different and interesting.🤔

I feel like the only one who hasn‘t read her books. So I‘m catching up! 🤗

There are no words to describe how much these books have impacted my life. I remember picking one up in middle school and I couldn't get enough. Each story is so heartwrenching and such a rollercoaster of emotions.

Very powerful book!

Kristina is a good student, a good daughter, an honest person... until she spends some time with her father and is introduced to “the monster.”

It is not too long before drugs overpower her, and her whole life is turned upside down.

Beautifully written, and I cannot speak highly enough of the poetic prose. Highly recommend this to high school students searching for a meaningful book.

Loving Ellen Hopkins lately!!

Addiction can happen so, so quickly.

I really struggled with this. After having read the first 2 books and coming to know and love Kristina, in spite of her poor choices, it was hard for me to switch perspectives and have her be a secondary character who everyone dislikes. Also, I felt like this was less poetic than the first two.

Day 11: #Black ft. an entirely black cover. I‘m not 100% sure if this book started this way or if the book has been handled too many times by my students (though I‘m not complaining if it means they have picked up a book) but either way, the prompt made me think of this book.

Really just want to get this series over with. No hope at all, but I have this thing about finishing books and series that I start. Who knows, maybe this will be the first.

I first stumbled upon these books probably when I was 10 and I just never picked them up, they never popped out at me. Until one particularly long reading slump when I was maybe 16 and just decided to read it. Best decision I've made. These were the first books to really make me cry, and to this day Hopkins is a go-to author for me. I've reread these books countless times too,and each time it's just as impactful as the last.vbb

Great series. So interesting to have this perspective and so heartbreaking for the children.

A library in one of my neighboring towns is having a Meet the Author event with Ellen Hopkins and I‘m off work that night! I‘m so excited because I love Ellen Hopkins!! My mother and I are going to attend and hopefully I can get a book autographed!

"Still dealing with the fallout of choices..."
Finished with Fallout by Ellen Hopkins!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Although this wasn't as "heavy" as a lot of Hopkins' fans are accustomed to regarding her books, I was crying when I finished it. Once again Hopkins' has made me feel intense compassion for anyone struggling with addiction and that in my opinion is worth the read alone. ?

They were good. The fact that it followed the storylines of a few different people made it interesting

You're flustered, I'm not flustered. 😅 I haven't read Ellen Hopkins' books since high school because I was nervous how I felt about her stories then wouldn't live up to the now. I was so, so wrong. FALLOUT is about the children of Kristina, the main character in CRANK who is addicted to crystal meth. A harsh read for a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but so, so good.

Well the plan to tackle some of my library print books has been derailed. Little man is suffering his first ear infection and I could only get him to sleep if he was next to me in bed and the lights were off. This is when ebooks really do come in handy. Looking forward to the last installment of this series as both prior books were excellent. (Bonus points for the David Benoit holiday pandora station in the background. Yay for xmas jazz!!)

YA lit is full of dysfunctional families but this trilogy really stuck with me for a long time. Hopkins' verses are so tragically beautiful, you will return again and again despite the haunting content. I recommend this series every year to my students and my copies, without fail, mysteriously disappear from my shelves by the end of the year. #24in48 #readathon

Finale of the Crank series. Does a phenomenal job at showing how addictions effect more people than just the addict.
