Synopsis

GETTING READY TO DRIVE: A HOW-TO GUIDE examines the particulars of being safe on the road. Includes taking your written and practical driving tests, getting your license, learning the rules of the road, and understanding the dangers of cell phones and the importance of seatbelts. Author Eva Apelqvist also explains what to do when one is pulled over, the environmental impact of driving, and the monetary discussions teens need to have with their parents before they're given the keys to the car.

About this title

From Booklist

The bright, cheerful design of the Life: A How-to Guide series helps make it seem as if life skills are something to look forward to rather than suffer through. The tone is upbeat without being overly enthusiastic, and the advice offered is generally very sound. The format varies slightly with topics, but each book includes around eight chapters with text broken up courtesy of sidebar sections and well-chosen quotes. Bold, unevenly shaped boxes set off the illustrations nicely. Getting Ready to Drive is a particularly welcome topic, well developed here with a good balance of practical tips and warnings worded so as not to sound hysterical. Each book includes notes, suggestions for further reading, websites, and an index. Grades 6-9. --Susan Dove Lempke
