Review Quotes

I thought the art was extremely clever and well done, and I looked forward to every single page turn. I found the story easy to follow, and worked well as a cautionary tale while still being extremely educational and sticking to facts rather than scare tactics. The facts were scary enough, apparently! This was very well done.

I've been looking for accessible ways to teach my class (10-12 year-olds) about the dangers of vaping, and this is the perfect book.

This is one of those books that you wish didn't have to be written but alas, here we are. It can be so hard to talk with children about certain subjects and I haven't been able to find much available on the subject of vaping. This is an issue that I can see continuing to be a rising problem. This book will be a must have for any library so that parents have a way to talk to their kids about vaping.
