Book Description
Baby Don’t Smoke is an exciting, information-rich and colorful graphic novel of a teenage Latina girl named Maria who lives in East Los Angeles with her mother, boyfriend and their newborn. She is lead through a series of dramatic encounters with sinister and friendly characters which climax in a surprise ending, leaving her with the resolve to quit smoking forever. The findings against cigarette use haven’t been new or remarkable for years. What is remarkable is the continued allure of smoking despite its obvious dangers. Since badgering and many forms of education about the obvious health concerns caused by smoking haven’t eliminated the problem, Baby Don’t Smoke takes a different approach. It encourages teens to rebel! In this case, against the cigarette companies who entice them into addiction and ill-health, and thus contribute to the illness of their infants and children. “We give people a pre-packaged, cool, rebellious identity when they can’t create one for themselves,” scoffs Doris, the novel’s seductive and brilliant villainess who controls Tobacco Empire. When protagonist Maria, a pregnant teen, responds with sarcasm, “You must be very proud,” Doris counters menacingly, “I’m not proud, I’m rich.” Baby Don’t Smoke presents hard evidence of the dangers of smoking in an imaginative, edgy, and readable format.

Book Description
For those addicted to nicotine, the thought of being able to quit smoking and have fun while doing it has seemed impossible—until now. "I Don't Smoke!" offers a very different approach to smoking cessation: an approach that focuses on the smoker, not the nicotine; an approach that looks at quitting as a joyous adventure; an approach that will make smokers laugh and feel good while they free themselves from their addiction; an approach that works. Dr. Joseph Cruse, founding medical director of the Betty Ford Center, applies addiction recovery techniques in this guidebook that will help every addicted smoker to announce with confidence, "I don't smoke!"—and mean it.

Book Description
The delightful romantic comedy—now an award-winning feature film. The debut novel from the bestselling author of The Spoon Stealer. Filled with heartache without being maudlin, this contemporary novel about life and love in a small town debuts Lesley Crewe, an original new literary voice. Lesley’s writing is fresh and funny, and her portrayal of Lexie’s strong and wry spirit in the face of adversity is unwaveringly authentic. Not since Bridget Jones has a heroine been so well drawn and so totally lovable—hang-ups, insecurities, annoying mother and all. In creating Lexie, her sprawling extended family, and their community, Lesley Crewe brings an east-coast flavored humor to her work—that teasing, biting, whip-smart style that simultaneously stings and tickles. With her charming combination of hometown warmth and savoir-faire, Lesley is sure to entertain and inspire her audience, who will do well to sit up and pay attention to this rising star of mainstream women’s fiction. Praise for Lesley Crewe and her novels “Crewe’s books are rich with detail, wit and understanding of how family and its roots impact on people’s lives.” —Cape Breton Post “The Spoon Stealer might just steal your heart.” —Amy Spurway, author of Crow “Shines a light on the secrets and lies that bind generations of Cape Breton families.” —Toronto Star “A warm-hearted story of one woman’s journey from a dark and abusive childhood into the light of acceptance and love.” —Atlantic Books Today
