Dope Advice: How to Talk to Your Teens about Cannabis
by Gail BeckWith marijuana now legal in Canada and many US states, parents are increasingly seeking reliable and accurate information about its effects on their teens and young adults. Written by Gail Beck, MD, a leading child psychiatrist with extensive experience working with adolescents and their families, Dope Advice provides a pragmatic, science-based approach to navigating and understanding the complexities of legal marijuana use in the modern world. Grounded in the latest research, this guide helps parents grasp how marijuana affects the adolescent brain differently from the adult brain, highlighting both its psychological and physical impacts. The book draws on current research studies to provide a clear, evidence-based overview of the effects of marijuana, including its connection to existing mental health conditions and the potential for marijuana-induced psychosis. It also presents recent clinical information on key topics such as vaping, edibles, and addiction, empowering parents to engage in informed, constructive conversations with their children about marijuana use.

Dork in Disguise
by Carol GormanLast year, Jerry Flack was a dork. So this year, at a new school in a new town, he's decided to start a new life altogether -- as a Cool Kid. He's been preparing all summer: studying teen magazines, acquiring hair gel, and distressing his jeans. Things get off to a good start, and before you know it, Jerry's in, Rollerblading with the pros. But soon, Jerry finds himself tangled up in a complicated web of lies; and what's more, he's battling a terrible urge to put his glasses back on, join the science team, build a hovercraft, and, worst of all, date Brenda, a 100% geek. Does he really want to be a dork in disguise forever? Carol Gorman perfectly captures the horror and hilarity of the middle-school social scene in this fast-paced and funny take on what it really means to be yourself.
Dork on the Run
by Carol GormanJerry Flack can't forget that last year he was a dork. But this year, in a new town, at a new school, things have gotten better. His social life isn't quite as embarrassing as it once was. In fact, he feels almost normal. That is, until he thinks about running for class president. At first it seems like a great idea -- being in the Student government might even be cool. But before Jerry can even decide to run, he discovers that he already has an opponent: someone willing to do almost anything to get Jerry not to run -- someone who wants to convince the whole class that no one wants a dork for president. Is it worth the risk of running for class president if it means a return to the depths of dorkdom?
