More About the Author

What do you want to be when you grow up? Answering that single question has taken me on an amazing journey as an author. Little did I know 10 years ago when I was writing the very first title, Career Ideas for Kids Who Like Science, that I would eventually fill over 50 books with ideas to help students of all ages find bright futures. And, believe it or not, there are still more books to come!

Two of my new series add some extra fun to the career exploration process. In the first, the Virtual Apprentice series, young readers find out what it's really like to be...a pop musician, a firefighter, an oceanographer and nine other exciting professions. Hot off the press in August of 2009 is the Way Out Work series, a full-color, high interest take on Goofy Jobs, Scary Jobs, Gutsy Jobs, and more.

All of my books are carefully designed to provide enough entertainment to keep kids interested and enough educational oomph for teachers to use them in their classrooms. The idea was to link learning with the real world in order to spark ideas, inspire dreams, and get kids thinking about all the things they could be.

This review is from: Career Ideas for Teens in Information Technology (Hardcover)

This book (and I'm sure the whole series) will be very helpful for pre-college teens (and their parents and teachers) who want to find out more about possible career paths. The book provides very good introductions to real jobs that people do, augmented by insightful interviews with people who have been successful in these careers. In addition, the book involves the reader through questions that really help in the planning process and in making fully informed career decisions. I have not seen a series of terrific books like this before.
