The book Gripped Part 4 by Stacy Padula is a great book to teach teens and parents what it would be like to get into drugs and how it can affect your life. The book goes into detail about how drugs have ruined many of the characters’ lives. Gripped Part 4 shows different situations for each character, as it has affected each of them differently.
