Summary: A must reed for future educators
Comment: As a future member of the special education team, I picked up this book of my own accord with no real expectations. I come from a background where i've seen both sides of the special education system and have seen many teachers fail with children like Jadie. Ms. Hayden proves to be an incredible example and roll model for current and future special educators. In her work with elective mutes she had the courage to break away from the beaten path. She had the patience to work with the most difficult children. This book is a wonderful example of the difference one individual can make in the life of another. Sure we may see some horror seens along the way, but it is increasingly rewarding each time even slight improvements can be made for a child. Hayden's work may seem disturbing to some readers, and it's true. She deals with some very heated topics in her novel. But it's important for the reader to remember that the issues discussed in Ghost Girl happen, weather we like to admit it or not. Hayden's gift of writing helps the reader see into her classroom and feel the emotions right along with her.
Now a special education graduate student and teaching assistant, this book along with Hayden's "One Child" have made their way onto the required reading list for my Intro to Special Education course. A must read for any current or future member of the special education team.

Summary: More intriging than any work of fiction!
Comment: If the book wasn't listed as non-fiction, I never would have guessed that anything so tragic could happen to a young child!
The book centers around Torey, the author, a special ed teacher and her new class. One of the children, Jadie, is an elective mute something that Torey by coincidence specializes in. After Jadie is convinced to begin speaking to Torey, the child begins to act strangely and divulge even stranger things. Her world is deep and very, very dark , indicating abuse of some kind.
Torey also gives insight into the problems of the other classmates. Their plights are deeply touching.
We are lucky to have teachers like Torey in the world. People who are so drawn to helping children.

Summary: amazing page-turner!!
Comment: In this story, a former teacher leaves her job as a psych to teach the special ed kids. One girl, Jadie, doesnt talk in school. When the teacher finally gets her talking though the things she says make you almost wish she didnt start talking. Its a gripping page-turner, i couldnt put the book down! its one of my favorites!
