Jadie & Sheila

Rate this book
Jadie praat, lacht of huilt nooit. Er komt geen enkel geluid over haar lippen. De achtjarige Jadie zit opgesloten in een nachtmerrie van verdriet, angst en eenzaamheid. Torey Hayden geeft les aan een klasje met ernstige gedragsgestoorde kinderen. Met oneindig veel geduld en inlevingsvermogen probeert zij Jadie te helpen. En op een dag begint het meisje eindelijk te praten.



Sheila wordt op vierjarige leeftijd door haar moeder in de steek gelaten en mishandeld door haar drugsverslaafde vader en zijn vrienden. Op haar veertiende is Sheila een wild en emotioneel zwaar gestoord meisje. Iedereen denkt dat zij voor altijd verloren is. Alleen Torey Hayden, haar juf, gelooft in haar.
