More copies of this ISBN:This title in other formats:Just Another Kidby Torey L Hayden
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could handle-three recent arrivals from battletorn Northern Ireland, badly traumatized by the horrors of war; eleven-year-old Dirkie, who only knew of life inside an institution; excitable Mariana, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak. With compassion, rare insight, and masterful storytelling, teacher Torey L. Hayden once again touches our hearts with her account of the miracles that can happen in her class of "special" children. Synopsis:A therapist who works with emotionally disturbed children, relates the story of her struggle to help three of those children, with the help of one of the children's desperate alcoholic mother.

She has written a succession of best-selling books for adult readers; The Very Worst Thing is her first novel for children. She and her family live on a farm in Wales.
