It is the best book ever written September 28, 1997
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this is a great book, and that more people should read it because it is a true story. It really makes me think about how much children can handle, and much stronger Shelia is than most of us could ever be.
An amazing book about an amazing child and her teacher. June 20, 1997

I first read "One Child" about five years ago, and have read it many, many times since. It is a true story about an abused, gifted child, and a dedicated teacher who would not give up on her. Through Torey's masterfull writing, Sheila speaks to the reader with a child's innocence and honesty, but with a wisdom beyond her six years. The result is a truly powerful and unforgettable story
Bittersweet and bewitching tale of a heroic little girl. November 17, 1996
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This true story of a little girl and the teacher who saves her is poignant. Written by a teacher who works with abused and mentally impaired children and told from her view point. Ms. Hayden is an outstanding writer and I have enjoyed many of her book, all of them true and touching stories. One Child, in particular, is amazing
ONE CHILD IS TERRIFIC - I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! September 19, 1996

Hayden brings us into the life of 6-year old Sheila, who came to her special education class while awaiting placementin a mental hospital for a horrific crime. As Hayden begins to teach Sheila, she discovers a girl with a genius IQ who has been given no chance in life. We follow their 5 months together and see how Sheila responds to an adult who finally cares. This compelling story is an eye-opener to what can happen to a child on the edge of society. At times we fear Sheila and at times we love her but all the time we forget that she is just a tiny 6-year old in need of love.
