(I got my first copy from a local bookstore.) I love how Torey was willing to help and guide Ladbrooke once Dr. Taylor reached out and requested Ms. Hayden's help. Particularly touching was the teacher's response when her assistant told the story of the brother Bobby's suicide at his apartment. There were a couple things I found disturbing, however. They involve Ms. Hayden's interaction with Shemona. One such scene comes right after Leslie alerts Torey to the sound of a kid crying and the teacher goes to investigate an altercation between eleven-year-old Dirkie and the little girl, Shemona. The teacher admitted right there in her own account that Dirkie started the ruckus by pestering the little girl about her hair. Instead of going after the culprit, however, Ms. Hayden punished Shemona and tried to bully the kid into talking just for the sake of talking. The second scenario involving Shemona and the Hayden woman had to do with an ingrown toenail the child had. When the adult finally got the little kid down to the faculty lounge so that the painful problem could be fixed, she then explained that she would go and get some cream and things to treat it. That part is perfectly okay. The toenail needed to be fixed. What was NOT okay was the woman's response when the little girl queried about possible pain from the actual treatment itself. Torey actually had the nerve to smirk and reply with another question: "It hurts already, doesn't it?" Ordinarily, I would call the teacher very compassionate, and I'm sure she was, but these two scenes are two of the very few instances when she totally blew it. By the way, that's one of the parts of this book that I really like. Torey actually admitted to Ladbrooke that she, Torey Hayden, quite often screwed up things in her classroom. Now, that takes honest humility. Despite the teacher's quirks, I would recommend "Just Another Kid" to any and all readers out there who haven't read it yet.H. Campbell ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this author *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022* I read a few books by Torey Hayden YEARS ago and ordered a couple that I had read before and a couple of others I hadn't read. I've since ordered all the rest of the books she's written and have been reading every night. Some parts are funny, others parts are heartbreaking but always hard to put down. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic story, easy read, smart and compassionate *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013* Torey Hayden recounts the true story of her teaching experience and interaction with one parent in particular. I could not put this book down. It is so interesting on so many levels. The friend I recommended it to said the same thing, she couldn't put it down. Hayden has such a respectful and honest way of discussing the children's various challenges. She describes the day to day with such interesting, funny, and compassionate detail. What is fascinating is how she can come up with just the right way to handle a new situation on the fly. Although learning about the kids was engrossing in and of itself, the real story comes from this slowly developed, constantly evolving relationship Hayden finds herself in with a parent of one of the students. Dr. Taylor is one of the most interesting characters about which I've read, which is probably the result of her being a real person and Hayden describing the reality of dealing with all sides, positive and negative, of a woman who has genius intelligence, lacks all social skills, is beautiful, an alcoholic, and at once narcissistic, sweet and vulnerable, as well as willing to change. The stories of the children keep the book moving; you love them, hope for them, are heartbroken for them, frustrated with them.. and all the while desperate to know what move Dr. Taylor is going to make next and how Hayden will handle it all. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1458223-just-another-kid-mass-market-paperback-april-3-1989](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1458223-just-another-kid-mass-market-paperback-april-3-1989) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
