Reviews

School Library Journal

“This serviceable title introduces the difference between ‘medicinal’ and ‘non-medicinal’ drugs. . . a useful choice.”
—School Library Journal

The Horn Book Guide

“This simple, easy-to-read introduction to a complex topic explains the difference between prescribed drugs and non-medicinal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. Without using the word addiction, Murphy discusses some reasons for drug use and warns against abuse and driving drunk. . . Suggestions for how to say no are appended.”
