I received an advance review copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.

I love the message that it's okay to explore lots of different fields to find out what you like, matter-of-factly ignoring gender norms. There's a good mix of trivia, concepts, and activities, ranging from relatively quick-and-accessible to slightly more technical. The writing style is upbeat and straightforward, though some older/more advanced readers may find it slightly patronizing. The badges are fun (reminiscent of Girl Scouts, but also just a nice collectible — and a potential additional DIY). And the overall design is aesthetically pleasing, with great use of color and white space; that said, it would've been helpful to have illustrations for the lists (types of clouds, types of birds, etc.) and the experiments/crafts.

My only major critique is that although the art is somewhat diverse, the reading lists could be much more so, and the "melted crayon samurai stars" DIY is not the greatest (especially when there are so many other shapes you could've picked).
