"CATERFLY,
MAC'S BACK flows quickly and smoothly and has the
necessary adventure to keep the reader rapt ...The author
skillfully weaves the tenants of prevention, treatment,
and recovery into a lovely, poignant work that, like MAC'S
CHOICE, is an invaluable resource for teaching young
people the dangers of drug use and the importance of
making drug-free, healthy lifestyle choices." Wayne
J. Roques, Special Agent, U. S. Drug Enforcement
Administration
"...A
multifaceted, powerful yet sensitive approach to drug
awareness. The story, a well-researched balance between
sensitivity and honesty, explores the depths of human
emotions and makes it easy to understand how circumstances
can lead a person to drug use and how the help of many
caring people is needed to have hope of recovery."
Kathleen D. Sargent, Fifth Grade Teacher
"What
a wonderful way to teach our children that "getting
off" drugs is not an easy undertaking. I will use
CATERFLY, MAC'S BACK, its teacher's guide, and MAC'S
CHOICE in my classroom for years to come." Kelly
Andrew, Third/Fourth grade Teacher, Orange County, Florida.
