Booklist Review
Through movies and television, forensics has become one of the hottest STEM topics. This latest in the Girls in Science series provides a glimpse into the details of the early lives and careers of three leading women in the field, examining their interests as kids, their educational choices, and their typical job responsibilities. A thorough overview of the field of forensics and fingerprinting is offered alongside a time line of the development of forensic studies. After each section, an Ask and Answer feature encourages readers to reflect on what they've read by asking open-ended questions that gauge their own career preferences. QR codes and keyword search prompts are located in the margins, allowing readers easy access to multimedia interviews, images, and interactive enrichment activities. A heavy emphasis is placed on primary sources, connecting readers with actual forensic scientists through archival materials. High-interest content coupled with relatable role models make this a quality career and occupational resource.--Anderson, Erin Copyright 2016 Booklist
