Addiction, once viewed as a shameful secret, is now widely understood to be a brain disease that can be treated. This series explores the many facets of this complex topic and provides students with the facts they need to navigate the choppy waters of drug use and abuse in their daily lives.

Some of the books in this series focus on the experiences of people from a specific country or region, while other volumes look at immigration-related issues, such as the status of refugees or the deportation process.

“The concise, engaging writing is aptly accented by symbols that alert readers to special vocabulary words.” -School Library Journal

“Sidebars can be found in almost every chapter augmenting the dietary information presented. This series also includes extra features such as “text-dependent questions” which are designed to send the reader back to the text for more attention to facts presented, as well as a “words to understand” section prior to each chapter which is designed to increase the reader’s understanding” -Library Media Connection

“The sidebars and illustrations supplement the text well and the research project suggestions are especially useful for students and teachers.” -VOYA
