Ghost Girl January 10, 2007
I thought this book was a great read, it is good for anyone interested in the feild of teaching. It is an inspireing book for both students and teachers alike. Hayden did it again when she wrote this book. Its one of those books that are very hard to put down. Hayden tells the true story of one of her students. She brings her expereinces to life, as she does in all of her books. If you like this book, I also reccomend "Somebody else's kids" by Torey Hayden.

Ghost Girl July 23, 2006
Jadie is an eight year old elective mute. She does not talk at first but, her teacher Torey helps Jadie to talk. When Jadie does begin to talk she tells Torey disturbing accounts of abuse that she (Jadie) has endured. Is Jadie lying? Is she psychotic, schitozphrenic, or really experiencing these horrible things? Jadie is afraid of spiders. She claims they can spy on her. Jadie believes she is a ghost. She is fascinated with drawing symbols. Torey believes Jadie is a victim of ritualistic abuse (satanism).

Ghost Girl; a real heartbreaker May 15, 2006
When I first read the review of Ghost Girl on the back of the book, I knew I would be hooked, and I truely was. This novel undoubtedly sucked me in from the very beginig. Jadie, a young and abused child from a strage family never spoke until, almost by the grace of god, a child Psychologist named Torey was sent to save her. This story of emotional physical and sexual abuse really made me see this world is not perfect. For a very long time I have had thoughts of being a child psychologist, like Torey is, and after finishing Jadie's heartwrenching story I was inspired to fulfill my dream. I absolutely love the way Torey felt called to publish her relationship with Jadie for others to read. I didn't want to put Ghost Girl down, and once I did I wanted to pick it back up and read it again. I will definately carry Jadie's story with me for a very long time. I encourage you to experience Ghost Girl, and do the same.

Makes your stomach turn! May 15, 2006

I couldn't put this book down. I never imagined somthing this horrible could actually happen to a young child. Eight year old Jadie, was an elective mute. She was a very disturbed child who slouched over when she walked afraid her insides would fall out. Torey was her special education teacher and was previously a child psychologist, working with other elective mutes. Jadie begins talking to Torey telling her things that happen to her and her sisters. They are so out of this world that you think no one could be so sick to touch a child in such ways. Torey goes through ups and downs with Jadie finally giving her the help she has been searching for.
