Gr 6-9-This set covers the progression of four careers through the first-person narration of a professional. For example, a photographer takes readers from his childhood love of nature to becoming a paid and seasoned pro. Text boxes scattered throughout the volumes relay information about groundbreakers in each field, tools, education, and fun facts. The subject matter is unusual and of high interest. The photos vary in quality, with some appearing grainy and faded. The diagrams are well labeled, but the font is quite small. A quiz in every title allows students to "see if you have what it takes" to succeed in the featured field or test their knowledge. Three volumes suggest topics for further research. Overall, interesting additions to career shelves
