About this book

The complete Crank trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins, in a striking, collectible paperback boxed set.

In Crank you’ll meet Kristina—and Kristina will meet crank. Acting under the guise of her alter ego, Bree, Kristina explores drugs, sex, and her own dark side. A new mother struggling—and failing—to stay clean, Kristina’s downward spiral continues in Glass, and the outcome is chronicled in Fallout, which follows the lives of three of her children. They find themselves pulled toward the one person who links them together, yet discover that it is in each other, and in themselves, that they find the trust, the courage, the hope to break the cycle.
This stunning trilogy from a master poet and #1 New York Times bestselling author with nearly 3.5 million books in print is a testament to the harsh reality that addiction is never just one person’s problem. This collection of all three books makes a great gift for devoted fans and first-time readers alike.
