Grace Llewellyn taught school for three years before unschooling herself and writing  The Teenage Liberation Handbook at the age of twenty-six.  Her other books are Real Lives: eleven teenagers who don’t go to school, Freedom Challenge: African American Homeschoolers, and Guerrilla Learning: How to Give Your Kids a Real Education With or Without School, which she co-wrote with Amy Silver. With the goal of helping people (mostly teenagers) take more control over their own lives and educations, she's also spoken to groups and conferences, given workshops, directed a resource center, produced a mail order book catalog, published a newsletter, and written articles. In 1996 she founded the Not Back to School Camp for unschooled teenagers, which she continues to direct each year in Oregon and West Virginia. Grace also performs and teaches bellydance, and gets her hands into numerous other projects. She lives in Eugene, Oregon.
