Ellen Hopkins Book Report
Journal 2
In this roller coaster of a book, I am currently on page 326 out of 537. The author of this book is Ellen Hopkins. When I started this book I thought it was just another story about a teenager that didn’t have any friends but that all changed when she went to Nevada. Throughout this journal I will be visualizing, predicting and questioning.

If that happens I’m sure her mother, step dad, teachers and peers would notice that something just isn’t quite right. The boyfriend that said sounds like a reason to party is a different boyfriend than the one she started doing drugs with. I can see in the future that the two boyfriends meet and she gets in a real confusing and dangerous
