"This book makes a compelling case for giving kids back their brains, time, curiosity, drive--and joy!" --Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow and founder of Free-Range Kids

"This well-researched, inspiring book clearly demonstrates that self-directed education supports each person's innate curiosity and drive to learn. While the form it takes is unique to the individual, experience shows it typically fosters confidence, community engagement, and an abiding love of learning. Hope is right here in these pages." --Laura Grace Weldon, author of Free Range Learning

"There's benefit for almost anyone in America reading this...Unschooled is easily one of the best books I've read this decade." --Titus 2 Homemaker
"Unschooled is a wonderful book, enviably balanced between rock-solid data and warm-hearted stories about real families and real young people who have flourished outside our country's factory-inspired school systems. It's not the first book to see how bright and interesting the world can be outside the soiled--and, these days, often barred--windows of America's schools, but it's fresh, convincing, and clearly written." --Robert Epstein, PhD, senior research psychologist, American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and author of Teen 2.0: Saving Our Children and Families from the Torment of Adolescence
