The gripping conclusion to the Crank trilogy, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins.

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. He's struggling to understand why his mother left him, when he unexpectedly meets his rapist father, and things get even more complicated. Autumn lives with her single aunt and alcoholic grandfather. When her aunt gets married, and the only family she’s ever known crumbles, Autumn’s compulsive habits lead her to drink. And the consequences of her decisions suggest that there’s more of Kristina in her than she’d like to believe. Summer doesn’t know about Hunter, Autumn, or their two youngest brothers, Donald and David. To her, family is only 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, Bree, mother, addict. But it is in each other, and in themselves, that they find the trust, the courage, 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.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up–Kristina, the meth-addicted antiheroine of Crank (2004) and Glass (2007), has five children by four different men. Fallout is about the lives of her three oldest children. Hunter lives with his grandmother in Nevada. He cheats on his girlfriend and smokes a lot of dope. Autumn lives with her sweet aunt and gruff granddad in Texas. She has OCD and knows little about her mother. Summer lives in a trailer in California with her father and a string of abusive/slutty/stupid girlfriends. She hates pretty much everyone. Hopkins's not-quite poetry is as solid as ever, though her use of visual formations gets more mystifying and extraneous with each novel. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Glass is fresh in the minds of most readers. As such, the Venn diagram of Kristina's baby-daddies, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and drug buddies -is impossible to follow, and may frustrate even the most interested readers. So much deciphering cripples the pace of Fallout. The plot is choked with the perpetual damage of meth addiction–there's too much message and not enough action. Hopkins spreads the narration too thin between three unlikable narrators, and none is ever fully realized. The mood here is just as depressing and cautionary as Glass, and Hopkins's presentation is even more self-indulgent.Johanna Lewis, New York Public Library

From Booklist

Simply put: if you liked Crank (2004) and Glass (2007), this trilogy finale will not disappoint. 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. Before it’s over, the three kids—Hunter, Autumn, and Summer—will experience anger, longing, loneliness, drugs, pregnancy, homelessness, and even, believe it or not, hope. 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. Grades 10-12. --Daniel Kraus

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was adopted at birth and raised by a great, loving older couple. I grew up in Palm Springs CA, although we summered in Napa and Lake Tahoe, to avoid those 120 degree summers. After my adopted parents died, I did find my birth mother, who lives in Michigan with my half sister.

I studied journalism in college, but left school to marry, raise kids and start my own business--a video store, before the mega-chains were out there. After a divorce, I met my current husband and we moved to Tahoe to become ski bums and otherwise try to find our dreams. At that time, I went to work for a small alternative press, writing stories and eventually editing.

When we moved down the mountain to the Reno area, I started writing nonfiction books, many of which you can see here. The rest are viewable on my personal website. I also continued to freelance articles for newspapers and magazines.

All that has changed, with the publication of my novel, CRANK, which has led to a valued career writing YA novels in verse, all of which explore the more difficult situations young adults often find themselves in. Will I ever write one in prose? No doubt! But, for the moment, writing novels in verse fulfills two needs: writing poetry and writing fiction. The combination is so interesting!

Love this trilogy! I do wish they kept the original covers.. but I do understand how it could be a little controversial. I first read them when I was in high school, let someone borrow them and never returned. I have never been one that liked to read, but when I found this was written in poetry form, it caught my attention. Makes it easy to read but also makes you think. Definitely a must read!

I've been reading Ellen's books for nearly 20 years now, to my delight I found out she released this. Got my book less than an hour a go and I'm about 80 pages in already! Didn't want to stop except that I had to leave to pick up my parents from the airport! Her books always go so fast, and I'm already wishing there was a 4th in the works

5.0 out of 5 stars Hopkins Does it Again!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012
Verified Purchase
After reading all of Ellen Hopkins novels, both teenage and adult, readers have followed the intricate lives of teenagers growing up, the parents' choices, and how the choices of all the characters intertwine and affect the other characters! Written in prose verse, Hopkins offers a new approach to reading and story telling.

Fallout continues the story that started with Crank, followed by Glass, both of which focus on the story of Kristina and her struggle with addiction. Fallout focuses on three of Kristina's children - Summer, Autumn, and Hunter (who we meet in Glass as a baby) and their stories growing up. Fallout is an amazing continuation of the stories and offers such character development and details throughout the story. Hopkins truly does it again!

I would recommend this book to anyone who has already read the first two novels and is a Hopkins fan! I would suggest this book for teenagers or older! A really great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Closure to the Series
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

I loved the first to books in this series (Crank and Glass), so I had to read this one. I don't feel this book is as strong as the first two, but it's still very well written and provided some closure to the series. This book is written in a manner that you could read it standalone without the first two.

I read this book (the entire trilogy) as recovering meth addict with three small children and I can say that it reigns true. I am grateful to have going on three years clean from "the monster" and am living a perfect, quiet life with my children while they are still young. This book particularly really puts what could be my children's life in perspective for me, as it is from the view of Kristina's oldest three children as teenagers. Ellen Hopkins has once again captivated me. I couldn't put the book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonished by my own realization. Truly magic
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2010

I finally got enough money together to buy it on my kindle for android and... Let me just tell you this is far from what I expected. I bought the book thinking that it would never match up to the brilliance and heart retching story the first two Glass and Crank told. However, I was far wrong. I read this book in a fast 24 hours. Grabbing a couple hours of sleep here and there, I found it hard to stop reading. Even if I could barely keep my eyes open. Of course, I read it over the weekend not a school night. It was an amazing recognition of how others around her felt. When I feel into my addiction, I never thought how truly much it affected others. This book brought me to that realization this past weekend. I have to say this was truly the best experience I have had from all of Ellen's books!!!
