About this title: They were all "just somebody else's kids" - four problem children placed in Torey Hayden's class because nobody knew what else to do with them. They were a motley group of children in great pain: a small boy who echoed other people's words and repeated weather forecasts; a beautiful seven-year old girl brain damaged by savage parental beatings; an ...

"After reading ONE CHILD and GHOST GIRL, I went back to the bookstore to pick up all the rest of Torey L. Hayden's books. Her style of writing is so easy and engaging. The characters in her stories are powerful and you are drawn to them all. None of the characters have one side to them, Hayden lets us see that everyone has good and bad. She is a truly gifted teacher and writer, and I am sure her works have sent many a young person in the direction of helping troubled youths and children. I know that I have lent my set of books to my young friend who has since gone on to do child welfare in Inuvik, they affected her totally and completely, as they did myself."
"Seseorang dengan status pendidik bukanlah sesuatu yang gampang dijalani, Torey sendiri bukanlah seorang pendidik yang biasa tetapi pendidik yang luar biasa, karena yang dihadapi Torey adalah luar biasa.
Boo, Tom, Lori, Claudia adalah hal yang luar biasa.
Bagaimana mereka menjalani apa yang menjadi dunia mereka sendiri sampai akhirnya bagaimana mereka memadukan dunia mereka di kelasnya Torey, begitu banyak kekesalan, kesakitan yang berujung dengan keceriaan.
Saya sangat suka hal 483-484 saat nyanyi lagu he's got the whole world in his hand.
Tuhan menggenggam sahabat kecil kita boo ditangan-Nya..
Tuhan menggenggam Tomaso yang besar dan kuat ditangan-Nya
Tuhan menggenggam sahabat kami Lori ditangan-Nya
Tuhan menggenggam Claudia dan bayinya ditangan-Nya
Tuhan menggenggam kelas kecil ini ditangan-Nya
Saya suka Torey yang marah karena sistem, karena seseorang wajar menjadi marah dan frustasi karena dihadapkan pada situasi membingungkan bagaimana merubah L dan O menjadi tegak dan beres."
"not fond of this kind of books, I was really surprised by this book and just loved reading it.
it's talks about a year in Torey Hayden's classroom, among a few unconventional children who do not fit in the regular school system, and how she deals with them and all the problems their particularities bring to light.
This book is a nice reminder of the problems in society, in laws, and the fact that even now people with disabilities or dysfonctionalities are too often put to the side..."
"I read this as a pre-teen. It inspired me to want to help less-fortunate children. It is very sad. I can't remember the details, but I remember feeling sorry for these children."
