Meet Kristina. Meet crank. Meet a story that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

This New York Times Bestseller trilogy from Ellen Hopkins pulls no punches as it follows one girl’s devastating journey into methamphetamine addiction—and the ripples that echo through generations. Written in Hopkins’ signature verse style, these books read like poetry that punches you in the gut, with short, sharp lines that mirror the fractured reality of addiction.

The journey begins in Crank, where straight-A student Kristina discovers her wild alter ego, Bree, during a summer visit to her father. What starts as experimentation spirals into something darker, something that changes everything. Glass continues the descent as Kristina, now a young mother, struggles—and fails—to stay clean. Finally, Fallout reveals the devastating legacy left behind, told through the voices of three of her children.

This special boxed set includes:

  • Trade paperback editions with striking new covers
  • An essay from Ellen Hopkins on the true story behind Crank
  • An essay from her daughter—the real Kristina

Raw, honest, and unflinchingly real, this trilogy has sparked countless conversations about addiction, family, and survival. Hopkins doesn’t glamorize or lecture—she simply tells the truth. For readers ages 14 and up who are ready for stories that matter, stories that refuse to look away.
