Reviews
Grade 5-8 Based on the author's Problem Solving 101 (Penguin, 2009) for adults, this little gem explains how to approach intimidating goals or jobs by breaking them down into simple tasks. Realistic scenarios such as finding money for a big purchase or choosing a high school are approached with data-driven evaluation tools. The author defines the steps involved along with terms such as hypotheses, logic trees, matrixes, and evaluation charts. Tables add to readers' understanding, and the pastel cartoon illustrations lend a touch of levity. While the book will have limited browsing appeal, it will serve well those students looking for some realistic problem-solving techniques. S. McClendon, Friends School of Atlanta, Decatur, GA
