Gr 7 Up—Harnessing teens' interest in social media, this series steers them toward educational and professional pursuits and the creative arts. Each title starts with a company history, a bit of social context ("YouTube stars are often more popular than mainstream celebrities"), and a beginner's how-to guide. Twenty ideas for positive usage include Tumblr for résumé developing, Pinterest for teaching hobbies, Twitter as a forum for message campaigns, and Facebook for business and organization pages. An accessible layout makes this ideal for a broad range of reading abilities, and a plethora of appended resources will help inquirers or educators who want to expand on the topic.
VERDICT Highly recommended, as even tech-savvy teens will benefit from the Internet safety tips and guide to controlling their self-image or "brand."
