Category:   Alcohol Title:   From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Author:   Volkmann, Chris and Toren Year:   2006 Target Audience:   All

Throughout his college years, Toren Volkmann partied like there was no tomorrow, having what was supposed to be the time of his life. Like so many parents, his mother, Chris, overlooked Toren's growing alcohol problem. But when he graduated, Toren realized that he had become a full-blown alcoholic. And he was not alone. Considered a rite of passage, teenage drinking has skyrocketed to epidemic proportions, fostering a generation of young adults whose lives are already beginning to come apart under the strain of alcoholism. This book, written from the viewpoints of both mother and son, is a riveting, enlightening, and heartbreakingly true story of a family able to confront the fear, pain, and denial that threatened to destroy them--and survive the epidemic of teenage drinking that's putting America's future at risk.

This is a children's picture book with woodcuts by David Frampton. "Danny was proud when the tiger first came for him. Honored, even. He climbed up on its back and together they cruised the neighborhood. Everyone gave them respect--shopkeepers and passersby, even other kids. Danny felt powerful and much older than ten. Soon, though, Danny realized it wasn't respect people felt for him and the tiger; it was fear. And when he wanted to get down off the tiger's back, he found it wasn't so easy. Eve Bunting's allegorical fantasy, illustrated with David Frampton's distinctive woodcuts, carries a powerful message about temptation, conformity, and the loss of control that comes when you ride a tiger -- any kind of tiger.
