Series Review:"Piquing the innate curiosity of middle schoolers with jobs that offer some degree of risk or, in the case of Manga Artists, pop-culture excitement, this set is brimming with reluctant-reader appeal. Accessible narration integrates training, personal skills, and salary information, such as in Brain Surgeons, where it is noted that, "...hefty salaries are a great perk," qualified, shortly after, by the statement, "If money is someone's goal, there are easier ways to make it."
--Vicki Reutter, Cazenovia High School, School Library Journal
