Representaion To Books Ghost Girl
Jadie never spoke. She never laughed, or cried, or uttered any sound. Despite efforts to reach her, Jadie remained locked in her own troubled world—until one remarkable teacher persuaded her to break her self-imposed silence. Nothing in all of Torey Hayden's experience could have prepared her for the shock of what Jadie told her—a story too horrendous for Torey's professional colleagues to acknowledge. Yet a little girl was living in a nightmare, and Torey Hayden responded in the only way she knew how—with courage, compassion, and dedication—demonstrating once again the tremendous power of love and the relilience of the human spirit.

Definitely the most readable of Hayden's books that I've read. Which is not to say that the subject matter was pleasant - far from it. But the narrative flowed a lot more smoothly, and I didn't find myself as frustrated with the author as I have in her past books.The book was written in the 1980s (first published in 1991), and there are some things she was able to get away with then that would definitely not fly in a public school today - picking an unruly boy up by his belt and shirt collar,Not quite sure what to say about this book. Most definitely a compelling and shocking read. All Toreys books I have read are ones I try to read as fast as possible, whether that's her writing style or the content I'm not sure. I can't put them down. This is a horrifying true story and it's totally sickening. I wanted to keep reading to check the victims were ok. It's obviously something that happened some years ago, and thankfully victims of abuse are now treated differently and I would hope
After reading ONE CHILD, I followed up with this book, and found the same thing - I read it in one afternoon, I couldn't put it down. Hayden has an easy style of writing that carries the reader into the story, and she makes it easy to find compassion with all the characters. It is amazing what kind of job she had and the children she met and helped along the way. This book, as with all Hayden's books, moved me completely, and I lent it to a young girl who later went into child welfare and
A very haunting read.
This is the true story of an experienced special ed teacher who goes to a small town to teach a class. One girl in her class in very disturbed and this book tries to unravel why the girl is disturbed. Once I got into the book I couldn't put it down. But now that I am finished.....creepy. I don't think I will sleep well tonight. This book will probably give me nightmares and I sort of regret reading it!I googled and the girl is now grown-up, but declined to be interviewed.I have my opinion about
Very well written book even for someone who might not necessarily be into child psychology. I found it very interesting and odd at the same time. As the story unfolded - from a mute girl in special-needs class, who eventually started to talk, but telling very disturbing stories to victim of (maybe) some sort of abuse. I wish the ending was bit more transparent as to what really happened? But i guess maybe no-one really knows up until today:-)
