![]() Though they are not familiar with each other, and, in some cases, aren’t even aware of each other’s existence, they are all connected through the woman they are told is their mother. Throughout the novel Fallout, the children take turns telling their stories. ![]() In giving the Crank series a new voice through the voices of Kristina’s children, Hopkins introduces us into a whole new realm of reality of this mixed up family. In Fallout, Ellen Hopkins does a wonderful job of characterization, has an amazing skill for telling stories, and continues to tell her (a little bit too) unbelievable tales to her audiences. After all of her terrible adventures with crystal meth, and nameless other drugs, Hopkins leads us past the awful twisting story of Kristina, and takes us into the lives of a few of her children, Autumn, Hunter, and Summer. By focusing on the thoughts and emotions of three of Kristina’s children, Hopkins delves even deeper into the life of this troubled teenager that we have been following for the previous two novels (Crank and Glass). However, this time the author takes a completely different direction with her “beloved” main character. In Ellen Hopkins’ third and final addition to the Crank trilogy, entitled Fallout (published in 2010), Kristina Georgia Snow is somehow still finding trouble. ![]()
