Best home school book ever written! I must own at least 20 home schooling books, and most of them are fine books, but geared mainly to the younger years for home schooling. Out of all the books I have read about home schooling through high school, this one tops the list by a mile. The advice in this book is the most useful and valuable I have ever seen and it is an easy read. Brilliant ideas abound in this book; ideas to help steer your reluctant teen through the high school years and more importantly concrete ways to get your teen ready for college. I cannot say enough about this book, if I could do it all again, I would buy only two home school books - and this one would be the only one I would buy for the high school years. This is one gem of a book that will guide you through the minefield of high school in an easy, relaxed and entertaining way. Buy it today, don't wait a second more - it will save your sanity - my kids are already in high school at home, buy this before yours get to 9th grade and you will be 100% ready when the time comes to start.
