Editorial Reviews

Who would have thought the world of money and investing could be so colorful and exciting? In the Junior Library of Money series, this is certainly true. This multivolume series sets out to educate students and provide a sound foundational understanding of our financial system. In Earning Money: Jobs, teens learn why working is important and how to find the right job, including what steps to take in preparation and what is expected of them once they have a job. In Investing Money, readers learn about the many types of investments that are available, how to get money to invest, and where to begin. This series is stunning, with vivid color illustrations on every page. Each subtopic is covered in a two-page spread that features bold graphics and bright colors. This succinct and visually appealing coverage is sure to fit the attention span of students. Each book follows the same 64-page format, with a glossary, an index, further reading, web resources, and an index. Another great feature is the "Here's What You Need to Remember" section just before the standard nonfiction features. This bulleted list restates the main points of the book. It is a great way to sum up the information covered. In an age of digital multimedia and PowerPoint, this book series holds its own. Although it is not a subject that every teen will pick up for entertainment, those that do will certainly enjoy the colorful art and easy-to-understand language.

This text is part of a series specifically focused on introducing young adults to issues related to the world of money. This particular text, focused on earning money by getting a job, contains twenty-six well-detailed chapters that follow a general introduction concerning why people work and then proceeds to discuss everything from how old one needs to be to get a job to how to juggle one's responsibilities and time once one has a job. Topics such as preparing for interviews, understanding one's paycheck, dressing for success and impressing the boss, and issues around illness and harassment on the job are also covered. Yellow "Did You Know?" signs throughout the text provide additional tips about specific topics under consideration in that chapter; for example, the chapter on finding the right job suggests that one might look at the Better Business Bureau website to make sure that companies don't have complaints against them. The "Further Reading" and "Find Out More on the Internet" sections provide additional useful information for teens wanting to learn more before they enter the job market. This book, and the series in general, provides an interesting look at issues related to finances and money that young adults should be able to read, understand, and use easily. Part of the "Junior Library of Money" series. Reviewer: Jean Boreen, Ph.D.
