Reading this book was a tragic eye-opener to the things I knew happened to people at my school, but I never witnessed myself.
This is a tragic and powerful tale. Many places are pushing to ban this book and I want to push against that. This is a very real reality that many teens go through. Crank doesn’t glamorize drugs or demonize the main character for falling into the trap. Just tells the story as the tragic awful thing that it is. And not only is it realistic and gritty, but it’s written phenomenally with beautiful poetry and prose.
