Right, but the unschooling model doesn't really apply here (otherwise
I wouldn't have asked about books).  Steve's suggestion of the LHOTP
series is a good one, but it doesn't quite fit, either.  I suspect
that what I'm looking for doesn't currently exist, which isn't a big
deal, it just means that we will need to improvise.  I appreciate the
feedback all the same.
