Author: Ellen Hopkins
Why Selected: Suggested in class
Literary Merit: Free verse makes this a more gripping tale and very thought provoking. It's different in a very good way. The story is a dark look at a teenagers addiction to crank (the monster) and her eventual downfall. Everything bad that can happen does, rape, theft, pregnancy, etc.
Share: Suggested read for reluctant reader, possible drug prevention use.
Appeal: Grades 8-12
Awards: None
