[CCBC-Net] off topic; family drug abuse

Hello all I'm a consistent lurker to this listserv and always appreciate the leads to great books and information that I find here.

Now, I have a question of my own;

I am in need of titles for a family with two school age children whose older brother is pretty consistently in and out of drug rehab. The family communicates really well around the issues involving each of them, and they are looking for titles which would be useful for the two younger kids (4th & 6th grades) to hear about the disease of addiction (to drugs, fundamentally different from alcohol) and how other kids feel; whether guilt or responsibility, etc-when there's an addict in the family.

Any and all types of materials would be great; fiction, picture books, movies, other resources I'm not thinking of!

Many, many thanks!
