Roadmap: The Get-It-Together Guide for Figuring Out What to Do with Your Life

Gr 10 Up—This nontraditional guide helps readers to determine how to live their lives. Put together by Roadtrip Nation, a nonprofit educational organization that encourages young people to pursue their aspirations, the book is comprised of three different parts, each with a theme: letting go of others' expectations; defining one's values, interests, and passions; and achieving one's goals. Breaking up the text are inspirational photos, illustrations, and quotes by individuals interviewed for the Roadtrip Nation project. Engaging and comprehensive, the content is clearly organized, letting readers stop and start whenever they choose. The index will help teens more easily navigate this volume. The last few pages are left blank so that users can take notes—which may make it a less than suitable purchase for libraries. The inclusion of seven projects add a valuable interactive element.
