The book Glass is a sequel to a previous Ellen Hopkins novel called Crank so in order to really understand Glass you would have to read Crank which I also recommend you read but to give you an idea Crank is about a girl named Kristina who starts off as a normal high school girl but a visit to her dead beat father sends her down a path she’d wish she never came close to. When she gets back to her home where her mother and step father live she has tried of meth, become a tobacco goon, and fell in love with a boy named Adam, and an altered personality she calls Bree. Crank ends with Kristi na or Bree being pregnant and a meth addict Glass begins by showing you what Kristina’s life is like with a new baby and how she will deal with her deadly addiction while juggling a child, problems with her family, and trying to find love. Ellen Hopkins is an enticing author she writes compelling storys and beautiful poems about the twisted lives of teenagers, stories about how they over come or fall under deadly addictions whether it be to drugs, self inflicted pain, and the other problems that come along with becoming a teenager. Some of the books written by Ellen Hopkins include Crank, Impulse, Burned she lives in Carson City, Nevada with her husband and son.
