Summary: one of the best books I ever read
Review: Plain and simple, this is one of the best books I ever read. The first time I read it I was unable to put it down; I`ve re-read it a few times now, and it is still as gripping as the first time.

Summary: This book showed how one person can make a big difference!
Review: This book made me realize that helping others overcome obstacles is about the most important thing you can do for anyone else ever in their lifetime. They will be greatful and you will feel stronger. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to help people and who has a very open mind. In the book you grow to love the characters and you start to feel as though you are right there with them. I had to read it twice because you just can't imagine what the characters are going through. It almost made me feel like I wasn't helping people enough. Or even that the help I was giving wasn't enough. After I read it the second time I realized that this is not what Ms. Torey Hayden was trying to occomplish. She was trying to get us to understand that you aren't the only one out there that has problems and that you can't do it alone. You will always need someone!

Summary: This is a great book for almost anyone to read.
Review: This book tells of the things that abused children go through, and shows that they're not all the same. I think this book should be read by High school english students.

Summary: A book that proves the power of love and of never giving up.
Review: I am 14 years old. I just got done reading "One Child." I was speechless. The thought of what happened to Sheila and what she went through at such a young age was shocking to me. Also, seeing that this was in Iowa, and that is where I live, made it even more realistic. I could never imagine that. This book proved to me that you should never give up and that there are people out there, like Torey Hayden, who deserve the most respect you can give. This book is right up there with "They Cage The Animals At Night." Everybody should read it, and tomorrow I am going to hurry and go to our school library to find "The Tiger's Child."

Summary: A sad but very good book.
Review: I saw the movie that was based on this book a few years ago, so when I saw the book I had to read it. It is a very good book, but so sad. What makes it so sad is that it is true. How any parents could treat their children like this is beyond me. I plan to start the sequel to this book tomorrow. Read it, you won't be sorry.

Summary: I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up after reading this
Review: I read this book 15 years ago when I was in 8th grade. I saw my Mom reading it and asked her about it. After reading it, I knew that I, too wanted to work with difficult children when I grew up. And guess what I'm doing now? This is a great book for anyone to read, both young and old!
