Grade 5 Up–This follow-up to The Crafty Diva's D.I.Y. Stylebook (Watson-Guptill, 2004) includes an introduction that poses the question, Are you ready for a makeover? Chapters include Redo Your Room, Wake Up Your Workout, and Get a Passion for Fashion. Complete with media references, each chapter includes three crafts with instructions, a difficulty meter for each one, and a list of needed supplies. A picture of the finished item, more ideas, and illustrations of supplies and the more difficult steps are included. The result is another fun, imaginative book that will surely keep some readers away from the television and in the creative mood on rainy afternoons or after school. The projects don't require spending oodles of time or money. Many supplies can be found around the house or at local craft stores. Especially useful are the tips for crafting parties and ideas for making money with projects. The author's suggestion that crafting can be more than just-for-fun may inspire readers to explore more creative job possibilities in the future.–Delia Fritz, Sunset Ridge Middle School, West Jordan, UT
