    Overview of the Crank Trilogy The books that I chose to do my report on were the Crank trilogy, Crank, Glass, and Fallout, by Ellen Hopkins. Crank was published in 2004, Glass was published in 2007, and the last book, Fallout came out in 2013. Ellen Hopkins wrote these books when she had a personal experience when her daughter, Kristina, started using "the monster" after she met the wrong person.

    I read the first half, or the first nineteen chapters, of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. This book grabbed my attention from the first few pages. Fangirl is from the perspective of Cath, an introverted and nerdy girl, who saying that the Simon Snow book series by Gemma T. Leslie was her life would be an understatement. She is undoubtedly what one would call a ‘fangirl’. I would be more likely to recommend this book to a girl, than a guy.…

    Susan Minot’s story titled Lust is written in first-person perspective and it revolves around the adolescent life of a 15-year-old girl as she lives in boarding school.

The story opens right away with the character introducing the boys she’s met during her time at boarding school but goes no more into depth about them than mentioning the sexual experiences they have had, such as seeing one naked for the first time or French kissing another. The readers get little, if any, description of the male characters beyond their names.…
