Description
MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES OF TOREY HAYDEN'S BOOKS IN PRINT! "MOVING...AS LIVELY AND SURPRISING AS THE KIDS IT SO DEFTLY PORTRAYS, *BEAUTIFUL CHILD* PERSUADES US THAT EVEN THE MOST WITHDRAWN AND TROUBLED CHILD CAN BE REACHED IF SOMEONE TAKES THE TIME, PAYS ATTENTION, AND SINCERELY, DEEPLY CARES." *O* magazine Seven-year-old Venus Fox never spoke, never listened, never even acknowledged the presence of another human being in the room with her. Yet an accidental playground "bump" would release a rage frightening to behold. The school year that followed would prove to be one of the most trying, perplexing, and ultimately rewarding of Torey's career, as she struggled to reach a silent child in obvious pain. It would be a strenuous journey beset by seemingly insurmountable obstacles and darkened by truly terrible revelations--yet encouraged by sometimes small, sometimes dazzling breakthroughs--as a dedicated teacher remained committed to helping a "hopeless" girl, and patiently and lovingly leading her toward the light of a new day. This description comes from the publisher.
First Sentence
The first time I saw her, she was atop a stone wall that ran along the west side of the playground.
