Packed with surprising facts about everything from caffeine to cocaine, this book pulls back the curtain on a topic kids are definitely curious about but rarely see explored so honestly. Readers get to hear directly from doctors and real people who use drugs, making it feel like uncovering forbidden knowledge rather than reading a preachy textbook. If your kid loves eye-opening nonfiction like "Chomp" by Carl Hiaasen or enjoys books that tackle the weird questions parents often dodge, they'll be hooked. Perfect for kids in grades 5 through 7 who are naturally curious about the world and ready for straight talk about grown-up topics.
