My Brother Is Not A Monster: A Story of Addiction and Recovery by Lee S. Varon Review by Marc D. Goldfinger Lee S. Varon, a clinical social worker, has created a perfect book for very young people and their parents about Substance Use Disorder (SUD) with absolutely no “triggers,” which means it has no areas that would make someone want to use drugs. It would be wonderful to see these books in grade school classrooms and used by parents for young children that they suspect are at risk for using drugs. The book also has many places in the end, where one can be referred if the youngster is at risk. “My Brother Is A Monster” is the book about Substance Use Disorder that we’ve all been waiting for. It is published by Rachlee Books and the ISBN is 978-8-9851363-1-9.

This book is sheer dynamite. If you enjoyed Boy's Life by Robert McCammon, you'll really dig this book. Two ten year old boys, in a life-changing event, being chased through the forest towards a raging river by those who care about them and those who don't. A heart-raking "Stand By Me" event. Give yourself a treat and read this book. You won't forget it. This story is sure to make a wonderful movie.
