Part of this five-book series from ReferencePoint Press, I think Careers in Animation and Comics is a winner. The work is well organized, clear and interesting, and focused on the students. Also included are all sorts of useful professional and informational website links. I followed several and was impressed with the quality of the information presented. I admit that I am a little biased because I am just back from helping run a TSA (Technology Student Association) event at the state fair were students were presenting graphics, architecture, special effects, and so much more. I personally know several students that could use Careers in Animation. The reference librarian side of my head thinks the bibliography and indexing in this title are great. It may seem strange to use a book when working with technology, but the book sits right on my desk and it works well for me.

Gr 7 Up—This series presents extensive career options, giving readers a holistic perspective on each industry and the skills necessary for potential paths. Careers in Fashion features many different possibilities, such as visual merchandiser, fashion stylist, fashion buyer, and fashion illustrator. Men and women of a variety of racial and ethnic identities are portrayed in the photographs. Notably, the series gives readers an idea of what kinds of personality types are best suited to each career path. This can be a good thing, but it also might limit exploration. Chapters are long and the content in this series is advanced, making it a solid choice for advanced readers and their guidance counselors or caregivers. VERDICT Another strong addition to any collection, but could be especially useful for high school libraries or guidance counselor collections.
