If you are interested in a career in the fashion industry, this is THE book to have. If you are interested in the ins and outs of the fashion industry, this is a must read. Interview tips, training, biographies of famous people, interviews with famous people. Gr 7-adult
This is the MUST HAVE book for anyone who is contemplating a career in the fashion industry. For anyone interested in reading about the fashion industry, this is a must read title. Iverson, an insider in the fashion industry, dishes the scoop with no frills and provides practical tips for future fashionistas. Insider tips on training, tips on interviewing, how to land the job, how to keep the job and how to move up in the industry are applicable to almost any career path. Also includes biographies of famous names in fashion, interviews with those famous people, and a truly insider look at the fashion industry that are all contained in a surprisingly drab - lackluster book layout. But the facts presented are strong and sure to help anyone breaking into the industry. Iverson divides the jobs available in fashion into four major categories: creator, visualizer, critic and seller. The variety of jobs available in each category show that there is a place for almost any personality type and almost anyone interested in fashion as long as they have a sense of style and intense interest in fashion: from the runway model to the clothing designer , from the accessory designer to the magazine writer or editor, from the photographers to the merchandizer. Excellent title for grades 7-adult. McNicol,Lois

The Hardscrabble children are weird. Their father paints portraits of deposed monarchs and deserts his kids when he goes away on a painting assignment. Their adventures they have while their father is away will keep readers guessing about what is next.
The author has created an unusual family. Otto, the oldest, doesn't speak and constantly wears the same scarf around his neck. Lucia has a very blunt and shameless way about her. The youngest is Max, who who is the most normal of the three, but he still has quirks as he insists about sitting on the roof of the house.
Usually their father has a local widow baby-sit the children when he is called off on a job. On this one occasion he calls the children╒s aunt to have the children come to her for the duration. Unfortunately, in his absent-minded way he forgets to make sure his message got through to the aunt. Thus begins the trio of adventures on a train, sleeping out in a city, and delving into the mysteries of a local legend.
Young readers will love the fast paced unusual happenings as the trio finds their aunt in a miniature castle. The adventures will keep everyone guessing as the story builds to a climatic ending that answers some questions for the three children. Conflict McNeil, Linda
