From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-These titles take a lighthearted approach to their subjects, offering young people some avenues to explore according to their own interests and skills. Readers are advised not to mark the pages, but they may be tempted to fill in the blanks of the "Get Some Direction" questionnaire. This is followed by fun-to-read descriptions ("The military is no place for a couch potato") of 15 different careers, a list of resources and Web sites, and a personal profile (with photo) of an individual working in the field. In Adventure, a female firefighter talks about the physical challenges and the extended family she has formed with her colleagues. Detective, welder, pilot, oil rig worker, and scuba diver are some of the careers discussed. In Money, an investment banker reveals that her childhood aspiration was to work in a library. E-merchant, technology officer, and venture capitalist are included with other traditional careers such as business manager, lawyer, and advertising executive. Appealing black-and-white cartoons are sprinkled throughout and will draw young people to this series.
