Ellen Hopkins is the author of "Crank" and "Glass" among other works. These two bestselling books were written in the unusual style of verse fiction. They tell the story of "Kristina" a pseudonym for her real-light daughter who struggled for years with a meth addiction. The story also tells how crystal meth, which Ellen dubbed the "monster," nearly destroyed Ellen and her family as well.
