Impish Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Chosen Girls series. One of the peripheral, but extremely important characters is homeschooled. Its CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Another one is Carry On, Mr.Bowditch. He did go to school for a brief spell...but his self teaching in this book is amazing and inspiring. It does have CC...such as learning Latin by translating the Book of John.

Melissa in St Louis Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks for the great list with descriptions - AWESOME! Here are two good ones I've read recently: Ten P's In a Pod: The Million-Mile Journal of the Arnold Pent Family (cc) My Mommy, My Teacher (absolutely gorgeous -- I *think* there was some cc, but I'm not 100% sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Nice! You might want to add Ronia, The Robber's Daughter, also by Astrid Lindgren. Island of the Aunts by Eva Ibbotson would also be a good addition. Several of her books might work. www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/astrid-lindgren/ronia-robbers-daughter.htm Oh, The Railway Children don't go to school. (They did, but they leave when their father and the money is gone). You have The Islander by Cynthia Rylant on your list, which is a book we love. She seems very hs-friendly. Rylant also wrote The Van Gogh Cafe. I would consider the girl protagonist to be a homschooler. She is always with her Dad at the cafe. No school in sight. Rylant's animal characters in The Lighthouse series are not schooled. :) Edited December 31, 2010 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks for all of the suggestions, all! I do want to figure out a way to add them all in, but at one point I went to add more and apparently my post there on livejournal was too long lol. So the update didn't work. I'm going to have to work on either shortening the descriptions, or else breaking up the list into two separate posts and having like A-M titles on one post and N-Z titles on another or something, and have it in two separate journal entries (unfortunately)... I'll have to figure it out, but probably not until tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thank you so much for putting this list together! We will be looking for some of them at the library soon. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 OK so I've added every book you guys mentioned, I think. And one or two more that I came across. I split the list so that A-M is in one post and N-Z is in another. I think it's pretty easy to find both lists though. They're both listed on the sidebar, and when you click on either one, there's a link at the bottom to maneuver back to the other list... I wish I could have kept it all in one entry but it wouldn't let me. Please check it out and tell me what you think- and if you think of any others that I don't have there, let me know! :) http://nancextoo.livejournal.com/167361.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuovonne Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott In the beginning of the book the kids go to school, but in the end their moms switch to homeschooling. Jacob Have I loved The heroine homeschools herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsmama Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. We have requested one from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
