About the Series
Benchmark Rockets is a nonfiction program for grades 3 to 9 that gives essential support to struggling and non-native readers in important curriculum and high-interest topics. Each title uses a clean, clear, modern design to engage readability. Background knowledge of subject matter is incorporated into the text. Vocabulary is defined at first point of use and in a glossary. Sidebars and other graphic elements are used to enhance knowledge.

Teens reading the books in Drug Facts will get quite a lot more than "just the facts." While these books give a solid explanation of how each drug works and how it affects the body and mind and, often, a person’s legal standing in the community, their focus is on practical help. A reader with a drug problem, or a reader who knows someone with a drug problem, will learn how to recognize problems, make informed decisions, and find solutions. Presented in a clear, modern design, with charts and diagrams to bring the message across, these books will be of value to all young adults in the modern world.
