        Grades 6-12 This gorgeously illustrated, satisfyingly exotic tome tells readers early on that tarot cards will not tell fortunes or predict futures. The book's purpose, rather, is to encourage users to use tarot cards as prompts for reflecting on aspects of daily life, whether they're seeking self-guidance or providing readings for others. A brief history leads to a discussion of possible modern applications (decision making, mental well-being, social justice activism) and is followed by detailed analysis of the 1910 Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the gold standard of tarot cards. Readers learn the significance of Major and Minor Arcana, suits (Swords, Cups, Coins, Wands), symbols and colors, face cards, reversed cards, and how placement and order of appearance can change meanings. There are step-by-step instructions for 3-card spreads (past, present, future; goal, obstacle, action) and the 10-card Celtic Cross. There are constant reminders that while certain cards represent specific concepts, interpretations should be personal and based on individual circumstances and gut-level intuition. No notes or bibliography, unfortunately, but the rich illustrations and alluring subject matter should attract plenty of attention.

        Gr 8 Up-This title briefly covers the history of tarot via an illustrated time line and includes a glossary of terms, the basis for tarot's symbolism, how it's viewed today, and how several modern decks have innovated the imagery to be more inclusive. Also included is a section on Pamela Coleman Smith, the artist behind the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, arguably the most well-known deck to date, and the deck this book examines as a starting point for beginners. Historically, Smith has tended to be overlooked in favor of her male collaborator (A.E. Waite) and the company that originally published the deck (Rider), so this is a nice touch. The book then covers both arcana, the four suits, and each card individually. Moody illustrations and glossy design aesthetics make this a very attractive book, especially to teens interested in the esoteric. VERDICT The design aesthetics, accessible writing style, and broad but detailed overview of information make this title a valuable addition to any teen nonfiction collection.-Chelsea Lytal
