Review of One Child

Review by: Prayoga Ardhi Pratama

The Review of One Child
(translated into Indonesian “ Sheila : Cinta yang Hilang”)

Reaching out at someone can make a world of difference on his or her future . Torey L.Hayden was a teacher who worked with kids who are emotionally disturbed . She made a big impact on a little girl named sheila , a six years old who was put into her class because of her disorder . Some teacher thought that Torey could get trough to her .

Sheila didn’t listen to anyone this innocent little girl lived a hard life that no six years old should have to go through . She grew up in poverty and her mom abandoned her when she was too little to understand . She was left with her alcoholic father who always thought that spanking was the answer to everything . Kids don’t know how lucky they are to have parents who care about them and their futures , until they actually read this story.

A teacher who sacrifices a lot just to reach one child , Torey could fit under that category . She inspires teachers to keep on teaching . Even though they feel like giving up on their students , because they feel like they can’t reach them . Torey is faced with difficult decision , either she could stick with her principles or change the way she handles things . If she changes the way she handles things , then she would have a higher chance of reaching out to sheila .

Have you ever put your whole heart into something and then finally achieved it ? In this book the characters did the same . This book is very inspiring . It presents good examples , to have compassion for other people . 

This book is filled with a lot emotion ; some parts of this book may make you cry a little . When you read this book , you actually feel like you are going through he same experience along with sheila . It makes you want to reach out to her , and let her know that everything to be okay
