Crank by Ellen Hopkins

Based on a real-life event and written in verse, this novel, the first in Hopkins' "New York Times"-bestselling trilogy, relates the disturbing story of one girl's descent into addiction.

Kristina Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble.

Then, Kristina meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul—her life.
