SLJ Review of Fund Your Future

Gr 10 Up—Deciding what to do after high school is a daunting, stressful task for older teens, making any resource that offers guidance on the process worth a look. This one attempts to do just that, providing readers with a nonjudgmental view into the myriad choices they can make, from higher education to future careers and the many steps and funds necessary to get there. This short, easily digestible book examines why and how a student might choose between getting a diploma or a GED, or pursue a college education, trade school, or apprenticeship. Half of the content covers finances—an essential topic for this phase of life—particularly student loans and the expenses that arise when new adults are fiscally responsible for themselves for the first time. Educators might suggest this volume to teens as a jumping-off point to further research the possible paths and financial expectations of their impending adulthood. While this title covers the basics of the post-high school years, it inspires nearly as many questions as it answers. Back matter includes a glossary and a list of books and websites for further reading. VERDICT A slim volume tackling a huge topic that nonetheless offers helpful advice to teens planning their future.—Alexandra Quay
