From the author of Sunday Times bestsellers ‘One Child’, ‘Ghost Girl’ and ‘Twilight Children’ comes a heartbreaking story of one teacher’s determination to turn a chaotic group of damaged children into a family.
They were all just ""somebody else’s kids"" – four problem children placed in Torey Hayden’s class because nobody knew what else to do with them. They were a motley group of kids in great pain: a small boy who echoed other people’s words and repeated weather forecasts; a beautiful seven-year-old girl brain damaged by savage parental beatings; an angry ten-year-old who had watched his stepmother murder his father; a shy twelve-year-old who had been cast out of Catholic school when she became pregnant. But they shared one thing in common: a remarkable teacher who would never stop caring – and who would share with them the love and understanding they had never known to help them become a family.

Another amazing insight into a SEN classroom. This time about 4 very different children and their daily struggles and achievements, It was good that there was an update on the children at the end so I wasn't left wondering what became of them.
