Guide to Financial Responsibility
Set of 5 titles
There is no shortage of ideas for how to solve big societal problems, but disagreement is seemingly endless when it comes to deciding which solutions will work, whether they will cause more or different problems down the road, and even whether they should ever be attempted. The goal of the Exploring Solutions series is to examine some of the most interesting, most prominent, and most innovative solutions to seemingly intractable societal problems. Books in the series explore the rationale behind these ideas, their strengths, their weaknesses, and where they might lead.

Guide to Financial Responsibility - School Library Journal
Gr 6 Up–Comprehensive financial guidance for teenagers, covering a range of topics from top to bottom. Young readers interested in finding a job, starting a business, going to college, or looking for similar financial understanding will leave this series with a wealth of knowledge. Job-seeking teens learn about resumes, cover letters, and searching for job openings all the way to the first day in the office. Future business owners will read about becoming an LLC, creating a logo, and the ups and downs of franchising. The series is updated to include modern business practices such as remote work and the use of algorithms to screen resumes. The pages are text-heavy but broken up by sidebars that cover topics such as the impact of social media on a job search, a small business’s TikTok success story, and explanations of common credit terminology. Small text boxes feature quotes from industry personnel.
VERDICT An even-handed financial series that simplifies complicated topics. Recommended.
