Clean

“With deep, sympathetic characters and beautiful prose, CLEAN  cuts to the heart.  It’s poignant and real.  I can’t stop thinking about it.” –Lisa McMann, bestselling author of WAKE and CRYER’S CROSS

“An affecting drama about five teenagers in an upscale rehab facility for drug addiction.  The author handles complex issues deftly and honestly, from family dysfunction to attempted rape….   The hard-hitting scenarios and abundance of white space make this a perfect suggestion for Ellen Hopkins fans.” – Kirkus

“Delivers some emotional and smart insights….  The use of multiple narrators results in a briskly paced, vignette-driven story that suits the frenetic lives of the teens.” – Publishers Weekly

“While not all young addicts are fortunate enough to receive and succeed at rehab, this is a thoughtful portrait of those who do, and it offers hope for what often seems a hopeless situation.” – The Bulletin

“A quick, frank read, with humor, information, and action that will keep teens interested.  Those who read Reed’s Beautiful (S & S,2009)–and even those who haven’t–will be drawn to the great cover, and fans of Ellen Hopkins will love this novel.” – School Library Journal
