This post continues my exploration of recent children’s lit employing homeschooling themes with a review of the young adult fiction trilogy of Susan Juby, whose comedic heroine is Alice MacLeod, a sarcastic and disaffected teen who was homeschooled until age fifteen. The books, with their American publication date, are as follows:
Alice, I Think
Miss Smithers
Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last
My book Homeschool: An American History
is the first scholarly book-length treatment of its theme. It is available for purchase
from Amazon.
