1. What literature should homeschoolers study? This is not a topic that a lot of homeschoolers seem to want advice on. They all seem to have very strong views on what the proper literature is as a foundation for a solid education. Sometimes the classics, sometimes everything, sometimes the Bible and rarely textbooks.
2. A second direction which I find quite interesting is what literature is there about homeschoolers? I'm not talking about Guide Books and How-tos. I'm talking about fiction in which the key characters are homeschoolers or at least the setting has a lot to do with homeschoolers.
Literature and stories about homeschoolers!
A directory with reviews by homeschoolers, study guides, and ideas for further study.
Here are a few sample books from this unique directory:
Every Soul A Star by Wendy Mass Book Summary:(Provided by 
)
)
Ally and her family run the Moon Shadow campground, where a total eclipse of the sun is about to occur. People from all over the world are coming to see it. One of those coming is Bree, whose scientific parents are coming to take over the Moon shadow campground. Bree is all girl with major interests in makeup, clothes, and the mall. This was a great book. The characters were well developed, the plot moved quickly, and I became so interested in the characters that I didn’t want to stop reading. This book will be popular with the kids.
Feed by M.T. Anderson Book Summary:
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon – a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world — and a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
