Unschooling / Homeschooling Books

Here are a few of my favorite Unschooling and Homeschooling books. Most I still have on my shelf, even though we have been homeschooling / unschooling for many years now. They are dear friends and I cannot part with them.

If you have a question about a particular book, please e-mail me and I will do my best to answer your question. I hope to eventually offer some brief descriptions / reviews of each of these books detailing why I found them to be particularly helpful.
