Crank by Ellen Hopkins
Is what The American Library Association calls “one of the most banned books in America.”
Here’s what they don’t tell you 👇
"Hands covered my mouth, rough, held my arms, strong tore my clothes, vicious. Fear danced up my spine, jolted my brain, dripped onto the ground. No! I screamed into dirty flesh. Not this way! Buttons burst, zippers opened, I closed my eyes, braced for pain. "��or
“Because it wasn't that it was gentle persuasion. I can't get enough of you. Sweetest coercion. Let me eat you up. Skin to skin, belly to shoulder. Sweet as puddin'. It was body rush after body rush, intensity building. Touch me there. Hot flush, raging blush, quick-start ignition. See how much I need you? Ice flash, instant crash, voices outside the door. No! Don't stop now! …I've got to have all of you. It was hands, exploring taboo places. Oh, God! You're perfect! Lips and tongue, not far behind.”
Parents didn’t “ban” it, they objected because it was being handed to minors!
