informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

This was a fun, yet informative read. Although the intended audience is tween girls, I felt that the writing was accessible and straightforward for any reader wanting to learn the basics and I learned a ton. I liked the choose your own adventure format, although I read it straight through. I liked the inclusion of career paths and skill sets for each role— I found this a helpful way to structure the information. I also enjoyed the color and style of the illustrations. They were diverse and the color scheme was fun. This will be a great guide for young readers or adults with young people in their lives
