Smoke Ellen Hopkins Ellen Hopkins sizzles, as her young adult readers know. However, her books are not just for young adults. As an adult reviewer, I find her prose verse tantalizing and terse, fast and furious - and surrounding the frame of her stories about abuse and the reality of teenagers with a beauty that startles. I wish I had Ellen Hopkins to read as a teenager, as I was one of her lost teens - and had no one to tell me that it had happened to others. Even more importantly than ... continue reading...
