Crank (Crank #1)

Kristina is a good student and a good daughter, until a summer visit with her father introduces her to crystal meth and to Bree, the bold alter ego the drug seems to unlock. Told in striking free verse, this unflinching novel follows Kristina's spiral into addiction and the damage it does to her life and family. Inspired by the author's own daughter's struggle, it remains one of the most powerful and widely read YA novels about drug use.
