This book started out as an experiment – I wrote it in daily posts on a blog of the same name a few years ago. Before that I had an unschooling website called AMI'S ANTI-SCHOOL ZONE! It's the story of a feisty fourteen year old and the changes she goes through in almost one year of living. The book is filled with some very strong opinions from me and the kids who came to my website – I dare say you'll either love it or hate it.
