Black and Blue Magic

Zilpha Keatley Snyder

Beschreibung

From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old—but growing wings made it even worse.  Except for his unusual name, Harry Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can’t even catch a ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer—and he is dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more than a traveling salesman, he’s a wizard—at least, he claims to be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of magical oil, saying that the potion will give him wings. And to Harry’s amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has to figure out how to use them. This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

Drug Addiction: Overcome...

Frank S. Burnman

Addiction and abuse are two things. A person may use a substance such as alcohol, but never be addicted to it. Tolerance and physical dependence are the two determining factors for addiction. Any addiction is highly destructive, both to the person who has the addiction and to those around them. It is difficult to overcome addictions to drugs. However, once the addict actually sees and acknowledges a problem, there are a number of treatment options for both alcohol and drug addiction.
Irrespective of what you can hear or read, alcohol and illegal drugs are addictive. In fact, the younger a person begins to experiment with these things, the more likely they are to become addicted to them later in life. Many times, addictions affect a number of family members. While it's dangerous to try any drugs or alcohol, it's a lot more of a gamble if you know you have close family members who have fought the same thing. What you're supposed to lose in this bet is your personality, your future, maybe even your life.
This book will discuss What Drug Addiction Is, Signs and Symptoms, Change Your Mindset, Motivation To Stay Drug-Free, and keep clear of negative influences.
