Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "The Special Reports series (8 new titles) gives serious, in-depth, yet highly readable treatments to hot topics kids hear or read about every day. All of the books begin with personalized incidents and stories and then branch out to discuss history, important landmarks, statistics, and the various sides of an issue, all peppered with more individual accounts. The Opioid Crisis is a probing examination of this problem, featuring a wide-ranging discussion that looks at everything from pain management to poverty, race, and class issues to Big Pharma.
