<div>From a New York Times–bestselling author, “a fast, jagged, hypnotic read” about three teens who meet at a mental hospital after each attempts suicide (Kirkus Reviews). Sometimes you don’t wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same. Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act—suicide. Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade. Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills. And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself. In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun—and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other’s help, they can find their way to a better life—but only if they’re strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place. “Fans of the verse format will devour this hefty problem novel.” —School Library Journal</div>

<div>New York Times–Bestselling Author: The Crank trilogy concludes with a “gritty, gripping” novel following three damaged children of a meth-addicted mother. Hunter, Autumn, and Summer—three of Kristina Snow’s five children—live in different homes, with different guardians and different last names. They share only a predisposition for addiction and a host of troubled feelings toward the mother who barely knows them, a mother who has been riding with the monster, crank, for twenty years. Hunter is nineteen, angry, getting by in college with a job at a radio station, a girlfriend he loves in the only way he knows how, and the occasional party. As he struggles to understand why his mother left him, he unexpectedly meets his rapist father, and things get even more complicated. Autumn, plagued with OCD and panic attacks, lives with her aunt and alcoholic grandfather. But when the only family she’s ever known crumbles, Autumn’s compulsive habits lead her to drink. Summer doesn’t know about any of her siblings. To her, family means abuse at the hands of her father’s girlfriends and a slew of foster parents. Doubt and loneliness overwhelm her, and she, too, teeters on the edge of her mother’s notorious legacy. As each searches for real love and true family, they find themselves pulled toward the one person who links them together—Kristina. But it is in each other, and in themselves, that they must find the trust, the courage, and the hope to break the cycle. Told in three voices and punctuated by news articles chronicling the family’s story, Fallout is the stunning conclusion to the trilogy begun by Crank and Glass, and a testament to the harsh reality that addiction is never just one person’s problem. “Hopkins shifts the point of view from meth-user Kristina to her three teenage kids; it’s a brilliant tactic that shows just how deeply others are affected by a single person’s addiction . . . Hopkins’ free-verse stanzas are as engaging as always, though prose this observant and strong would be powerful even if arranged in standard paragraphs. An emotional, satisfying end (and a new beginning, in a way) to Kristina’s story.” —Booklist</div>
