franzi_ela's review against another edition
4.5
The saddest thing is that - although this depicts a situation about 50 years ago - many things haven't changed. It is still difficult to get people into drug therapy, still parents aren't watchful enough, still the school system is overwhelmed with difficult children, still drug dealers are taking advantage of teens who don't know the risks of certain drugs or who want to make "quick money" by selling drugs.
I could go on.
The only way to raise awareness is through books like this. So: Highly recommended, but be aware that it's not a fun read, also take a look at the content warnings!
