Reading the book “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins for a school book report?

Question by :]: Reading the book “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins for a school book report?
I am in 8th grade and we are assigned to do a book report on any book we want but it has to be fiction, 200+ pages, something I haven’t read before, and something that is not a movie… This book meets the requirements. I’ve heard this book from a friend and she said it’s about this girl who was “perfect” but did the drug “crank” which made her into a bad person. Should I read this book for my book report or no?

Oh by the way, it isn’t REALLY a book report… There are 4 questions that we have to write a detailed answer to; such as what is the purpose of the setting, what is the major conflict facing the protaganist, choosing a quote that explains a theme

I LOVED this book, but I would NOT call it school appropriate.

In Crank, there is use of drugs [obviously] & under aged
drinking & sex. lots of swearing, a definate young
adult novel. I wouldn’t do it for school, but it is an
amaaaazing book !

I’m in eighth grade as well. I loved it. Very moving, yet sad, but so real.
