Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America. How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland. Quinones explains how the rise of the prescription drug OxyContin, a miraculous and extremely addictive painkiller pushed by pharmaceutical companies, paralleled the massive influx of black tar heroin--cheap, potent, and originating from one small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel. 520 $a Introducing a memorable cast of characters--pharmaceutical pioneers, young Mexican entrepreneurs, narcotics investigators, survivors, teens, and parents--Dreamland is a revelatory account of the massive threat facing America and its heartland. 521 1 $a Age: 12+ 521 2 $a Grade 9 to 12. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Mexico $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Heroin abuse $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Oxycodone $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Narcotics $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a American Dream. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Quinones, Sam, 1958- author. $t Dreamland $b YA edition. $d New York : Bloomsbury Childrens Books, [2019] $z 9781547601417 $w (DLC) 2018059709. 941 $a 21 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020240.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409034103.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020601.0 952 $l 3HSX245 $d 20231214011816.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806014015.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728011235.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223011833.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728021030.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061419.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20210611010713.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210521010847.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011734.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20201003011051.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20200609012326.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529021154.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200107011859.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20191119030843.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20191119023657.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20191113011513.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191005010655.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20190802012432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF55445AB4EA11E9A95CA01D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
