The Junior Drug Awareness set helps young readers understand the truth about various drugs they have heard about - including some of the most widely abused drugs among pre-teens and teens. Illustrated with full-color photographs, each informative book explains the history of various drugs, their effects on the body, why people use them, and how people can stop using them. Pop culture references and modern news stories from around the world provide powerful examples to hold readers' interest. Helpful features such as sidebars, a glossary, a bibliography, an index, and a further reading section with suggested Web sites are included in each title.
