Summary

The Sheffs, a father-and-son team, provide all the information teens and tweens need to know about drugs, alcohol, and addiction. With testimonials from peers who have been there and families who have lived through the addiction of a loved one, they provide the cold, hard facts about what drugs and alcohol do to our bodies. From how to navigate peer pressure to the potential consequences for experimenting, the authors lay out the facts so that middle- and high-school grade readers can educate themselves. -- adapted from Amazon.com info
