Summary: A must-read for future teachers of America
Review: The most frightening thing about "One Child" was that it was a true story. How terrifying to realized what some children must endure, right here in the United States of America. As a college student majoring in elementary education, this book has inspired me to no end. Thank you, Torey Hayden, for your enduring faithfulness to all of the "crazy" children in this world.

Summary: A BOOK THAT CANNOT BE PUT DOWN!!!
Review: This book was a sad and true story. It was a heartwarming story of a teacher's love for a student that everyone (including her own family) had given up on. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book!! I Highly recommend it to anyone!!
Review: I cried at the end of this book,I was touched, it was excellent,and I didn't want to put it down. I was appalled at the fact that this girl's mother left her behind. I wish that mother would learn her lesson for leaving this defenseless child behind. She doesn't know what she was missing, she was missing out on an opportunity to get to know her child, who's very intelligent for a six year old girl. This girl was a miracle, and so is Tory. Tory is a good example to all teachers dealing with difficult, yet, very intelligent students. She was patient with Sheila, and wasn't going to give up on her. She saw potential in Sheila that gave her the self esteem that she needed. I would've been a runaway child if I had a father like that. I was angry at the girl's uncle. all in all, this book deserves an award, and five stars, it was excellent, I recommend it to everyone!! HC

Review: I first read this book when I was 11 (I'm 22 now) and even then I wished I could have had a teacher like Ms. Hayden......She epitomizes the bond between a teacher and her students.
