    I am afraid you are out of luck. Authors want to be paid for their work, and Ellen Hopkins is no exception. (Only in very rare cases does an author offer a copyrighted work on the net for free). There is no legal way to read her books for free. If you find something on the web, it will either be someone's fabrication, or it will be pirated, which could land you in trouble if you use it.

    I'd either buy (try use book stores if buying new is too rich for you) or borrow at a library. Lots of books can be gotten through Inter-library loan. Lots of libraries have e book readers of one type or another and may have your book on it. That is another thing to check out (it would not be on your computer, though).

    iTunes has it, but it'd be cheaper if you bought the hard copy of the book from Amazon. (I'm not sure what your restrictions are in terms of why you cannot order online.) Any other way would be illegal, and I know for a fact that the publishing house for Ellen Hopkins monitors that kind of stuff, especially when it comes to copyright infringement. (I hope you get to read it; it's amazing!) Good luck!

    It's a recent book, so it is under copyright protection. Unless Ms. Hopkins puts it online somewhere for free, or your local library has an e-book version available for download, you are probably out of luck.

    If your local library does not have a paper copy, see if you can get it from another library through inter-library loan.
