This is perfect book for juniors in high school. There are so many decisions at this major crossroad of your life. Should I go directly to college? Should I work before I go to college? Questions, questions, and more questions. This volume hopes to give teenagers a bevy of answers because there isn't one correct one for everyone. Just as all students are different, their options are many.

This book helps teens understand what kind of people they are and what their passions are. It covers topics as varied as financial situations, religious beliefs, physical disabilities, pregnancy and motherhood--something for everyone. It also gives YAs resources, including Web sites, to research options. It gives appropriate lists of colleges from small liberal arts colleges to partying colleges to the best colleges for female athletes. There is also advice on how to negotiate college life. It's an excellent resource for the inevitable question of "What am I going to do with my life? " Sherri Ginsberg, Chapel Hill, NC
