Items related to Prince of Pot
Isaac loves art class, drives an old pickup, argues with his father and hangs out with his best buddy, Hazel. But his life is anything but normal. His parents operate an illegal marijuana grow-op, Hazel is a bear that guards the property, and his family’s livelihood is a deep secret.
It’s no time to fall in love with the daughter of a cop.
Isaac’s girlfriend Sam is unpredictable, ambitious and needy. And as his final year of high school comes to an end, she makes him consider a new kind of life pursuing his interest in art, even if that means leaving behind his beloved home in the Rockies and severing all ties with his family.
For a while he hopes he can have it all, until a disastrous graduation night, when Sam’s desperate grab for her father’s attention suddenly puts his entire family at risk.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Tanya Lloyd Kyi is the author of several award-winning books for young readers, including DNA Detective and Anywhere But Here. The daughter of hippies, she grew up in the Kootenays, the setting for Prince of Pot.
Waterfall plus girl. That’s apparently what it takes for me to forget where and how I live.
A low, phlegmy grunt reminds me.
Another.
Snuffling.
“Is that what I think it is?” Sam asks, her voice turned raspy. Then she starts whistling. She manages a few notes before she’s all air and no sound.
I know the feeling. It’s hard to whistle when your mouth’s gone dry as a creek bed in August.
That sound was a bear, all right. It was Hazel. I can tell before I catch a glimpse of her cinnamon-speckled fur.
She’s going to ruin my perfect hour.

When I push open the door, I startle them all.
There’s an insistent knot in my gut.
“I ran into a hitchhiker by the highway.”
Dad’s eyes narrow.
“And?” he asks.
We just had our biggest fight ever, but he trusts my judgment. With that one word, he’s relying on me to make the call.
“We have a problem.”
