In this book for young people who are struggling with substance
abuse, Kyle Keegan recounts his own remarkable story of drug abuse
and ruthless addiction. Keegan, now an adult who is in recovery

adolescent who fell victim to heroin and whose life was almost
destroyed by the devastating drug. Against the backdrop of these
experiences, he also provides useful information that young people
struggling with substance abuse need, such as how to recognize and
accept that there is a problem, how to find professional help, and
how to stay happy and healthy in recovery.

HEARTSTOPPER series! Alex and Molly are two girls who don't belong
on the same planet, let alone the same college campus . . . Alex
Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a
whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on
the other hand . . . not so much. Molly Parker has everything in
her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness
with just about anyone besides her mum. She knows she's in love
with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just . . . hasn't actually
talked to her yet. When the girls' paths cross unexpectedly, and
Alex discovers Molly's hidden crush, they realise they might have a
common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex can help Molly to
get her dream girl, she can prove to her ex that she's serious
about love. As the two embark on their five-step plans to get their
girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe
they're the ones falling . . . for each other. Read what everyone
