From Booklist
Gr. 11-12. High-school juniors and seniors facing the prospect of going to college and living independently for the first time will appreciate this useful guide for its practicality and thoroughness. Advice and detailed information are offered about such important life skills as finding a job, living on a budget, living with a roommate, caring for a pet, and the responsibilities of car ownership. Several chapters deal with health-related topics--exercise and nutrition, health insurance, personal safety, alcohol and drug abuse, and depression and suicide. There are also chapters devoted to charity, discussing the need to give back by volunteering or donating blood, and to good citizenship, encouraging readers to vote and become involved in the political process. It's sound, straightforward advice and information in a sensibly organized, accessible format; an interactive CD-ROM is included, supplementing the text with audio and visual content. Ed Sullivan

From Publishers Weekly
Older readers will appreciate On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide for Young Adults by Sally Taylor, which provides information about moving out (budget considerations, assessing a roommate, etc.), managing money, landing a job, choosing a college and more. Essential questions (e.g., "How do I find an apartment?"; "How do I write a resume?") lead the way; later chapters focus on relationships, mental health and personal safety. There's even a section devoted to understanding the U.S. government ("What is the Electoral College?"). Quizzes that open each chapter help readers to get a realistic picture of their situation. An interactive CD-ROM is included. Ages 13-up.
