Non-intimidating and very straightforward book for understanding what goes in to a good college essay.  One suggestion would be to do two "coffee break" books -- one written to the teen, one to the homeschool parent.  The teens have to be in the center of this process, after all.  The section on example college applications is geared towards places popular with conservative Christian homeschoolers, but the common app and really all the rest of the content applies to anyone.  I would recommend this whether you homeschool or not, if you have a teen applying to college.
