 Books in Our In-Box!
Okay, here at Education World At Home, we get a LOT of books sent to us. Being book people, we look through
them, read them, use them to correct that short table-leg.
Seriously, here are just a few books, all very different, that we noticed this summer.
The links are to an author/publisher Web site where possible, and to the Amazon.com
entry on the book otherwise.
THE LIFE OF TEENAGERS "Ain't No Joke"
by Keith G. Wright
http://www.aintnojoke.com
This self-published book is intended to encourage teens to believe in themselves, rely on themselves, and
keep promises to themselves. It's tough to publish a book of your own these days and to get the word out,
so hats off to Mr. Wright!
COLLEGES THAT CHANGE LIVES
by Loren Pope
Published by Penguin
http://www.ctcl.com
Okay, you kids and parents! The author of Looking Beyond the Ivy League has compiled profiles of 40 colleges
that may not be as well known as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford, but that have a strong tradition
of serving their students well. A good addition to your library of college-hunt resources!
(But take care of getting your SAT / ACT scores up first!)
