The title of this book was Home School Secrets, but there really didn't seem to be any. The author's and her child's success are admirable, but almost everything in here seemed to be what should be common sense. There were a few interesting things about learning styles, but even that only scratched the surface.The author spends quite a bit of time talking about her son. Initially it was inspiring, but by the end it got a bit tiresome. Anyone who has done any research on homeschooling knows that homeschool students tend to achieve much more than their public or even private school peers. More than once I wanted less rehashing of her sons success and more of the "secrets" the book promised.If you've never read anything about homeschooling and need to be reassured that it can be great for your child, then this book might be helpful. Otherwise I'd move on to something with a little more meat.
