In the beginning, Hayden and her aides had to cope with having the goldfish's eyes poked out and other teachers' classrooms torn apart. Convinced that she was worthless (by contrast with brother Jimmie, whom her mother took along in her flight), Sheila responded with awe to the simple gift of hair clips: ""Ain't nobody be nice to me on purpose.""

Placed ""temporarily"" in the class on her way to a state institution, six-year-old Sheila had tied a three-year-old companion to a tree and critically burned him. When Torey Hayden began teaching the ""garbage"" class-eight severely disturbed children, from suicidal to autistic-in her Iowa school district, she had little idea that the mid-year would bring Sheila. ![]() ![]() To cut the story short, if you are a fan of great fiction, we highly recommend you bag this novel without wasting a bit of moment. ![]() No matter what you like in fiction and novels, this beautiful novel knows how to generates interest for readers and fall them in love.
