Crank by Ellen Hopkins
5.0

I read this book because it's one in a long line of books that Conservative Christian parent groups are trying to have banned, in public schools.

They don't like this because of the drug use and sexual activity but it's clear they either haven't read the book or have near to no reading comprehension.

This book is raw, and it would be a great book for ANY teenager to read. It depicts just how quickly you can become addicted to drugs, and also gives those reading a sense of what to watch out for, with predatory sexual behaviors.

I won't go more into it because I don't want to spoil anything, and it's best experienced via the book, but absolutely read it.
