Summary: Dark, interesting, yet true
Comment: This is the first book I've read from author Torey Hayden. While I was reading, it reminded me of author Dave Pelzer's book, "A Child Called It." While the content may be similar in that children are affected by the actions of adults, Ghost Girl is clearly different. As Hayden went on to describe the dialogue and experiences Jadie had gone though, there were many times when I was forced to set the book down in order to contemplate what I was reading. The pictures I created in my mind made me sick to my stomach. I could not even fathom what Jadie had to endure. Yet Hayden had the compassion to do what was right, which was to just care. Hayden's caring is what saved Jadie and her sisters from continued abuse. Yet questions went unanswered: were Jadie's descriptions psychotic or from real experience dealing with the occult and Satanism? We may never know and I really don't think it is the main point of Hayden's book.
I think Torey Hayden's writing is complete and very intriguing. She has already become a favorite author for education and I look forward to reading her other books of children with special needs.
NOTE: While this book will keep the reader interested, it can be very dark, horrid, and at times, scary.

Summary: Wonderful, yet disturbing book
Comment: I read this book as part of a class I am taking as my graduate program for Special Education. I found that I could not put this book down because I found the story so intriging and was curious to find out if they ever were able to discover if Jadie's story was true. Yes, this book is very graphic in the details Jadie describes her sexual abuse and other aspects of ritual abuse. I could not believe how long it took for something to finally be done for Jadie and her sisters because everyone kept believing it was Jadie being mentally disturbed and her story was a fabrication even though she understood things that an 8-9 year old shouldn't have understood. The book did reveal that sexual abuse and ritualistic abuse can take place anywhere in this country and that teachers should take any allegation of any type of abuse seriously. I think this book should be read by any educators or future teachers, but it is an adult book. I was disappointed at the end of the book because I wanted to find out who(m) was doing this to Jadie, instead of the inference that it was her parents. Overall, it was a very good book to read and very enlightening about ritual abuse.

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!
