Update : If you liked WRECKED by Heather Henson, add CRANK to your reading list. It’s pretty amazing to me how Ellen Hopkins paints such vivid pictures with her words and draws us into the stories of people we might overlook or judge in real life. I think the thing that stands out to me is how starkly each scene is portrayed, even though it’s told in shorter lines of poetry rather than paragraphs of prose. There is not an ounce of judgment in Ellen Hopkins' Crank this week's VelshiBannedBookClub feature. This is the first novel in verse that I’ve ever read. They flow from scene to scene very smoothly, capturing the raw emotion of the heroine– her desperation, heartache– and the downward spiral of her addiction to Meth. This Book is Gay, by Juno Dawson PEN America's List (July to December 2022) 1. Each poem captures the story in vivid detail. Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, by Jesse Andrews 10. Ellen Hopkins captures the turmoil and grip of addiction in a raw, authentic manner as she tells the story of a girl caught in the same kind of addiction her own daughter has battled. CRANK is the story of Kristina Snow and the summer that changes her life, when she goes to visit her father and meets the “monster”, Crystal Meth.
