Scratching on the Eight Ball
Description:
A page-turner for kids who don't like to read.
"It's a bust!" someone cries out...and thus starts a series of adventures for 14-year old Reason Nelson that takes him into the dark world of drugs and alcohol and serious crime...adventures that force him to walk a tightrope stretched between the police and the underworld.
Scratchin' on the Eight Ball is the exciting and heart-tugging story of how Reason and his friends cope with their own world and the adult world. Sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, it tells how they deal with the pressures within themselves and the pressures forced upon them. And how they deal with the attraction and subsequent addition of alcohol and drugs.
Written from personal experiences, it accurately portrays the pre-teen and teenage viewpoint. This is a must-read for anyone that is fourteen, was fourteen or will be fourteen.
