Grades 4-7 Looking for career advice? These books in the Bright Futures Press: Emerging Tech Careers series (8 titles) give young readers glimpses into a variety of high-tech jobs and how to prepare for them. The text provides an overview of each job, highlighting exciting things that people in that line of work get to do. Careers in Virtual Reality Technology discusses 3-D animators, game designers, and programmers. Additional features invite readers to Imagine It! (carry out a related activity) and Dig Deeper! (do online research or activities, using URLs for outside websites). A final feature discusses the requirements for each job. Adequate but bland stock photos illustrate each page. Some of the books address readers directly in an enthusiastic, personal voice throughout, while others use a more neutral but still engaging third-person voice. Likewise, in some volumes, the career-preparation features focus largely on formal, college-level education. In others, the focus is more on what young readers can do now to start preparing for a particular career. Overall, this series can help readers envision career paths related to their interests in technology.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.) -

Gr 5-8-Whether it's a career in personal space travel or in wearable electronics, this technology series features eight of today's most cutting-edge professional fields. Within each volume, students are introduced to six occupations, their basic job duties, key ideas and developments in the field, educational requirements, and even some tips on how to get started. "Imagine It!," one of two engaging sidebar activities per section, encourages both creativity and higher-level thinking in readers while "Dig Deeper!" invites students to pursue independent online research and even suggests specific URLs from which to begin. Each book concludes with the question "What is your big idea?" and a final inquiry-based activity that should spark readers' imaginations, foster creative expression, and stimulate discussion. VERDICT A solid career resource for school and public libraries.
