For the first time, Casey Watson's The Girl Without a Voice, Torey Hayden's Beautiful Child and Mary MacCracken's Lovey are combined in an exclusive e-book bundle. Discover the moving stories of three inspirational teachers as they try to pull their students out of the darkness. The Girl Without a Voice is the shocking story from bestselling author and foster carer Casey Watson. Thirteen-year-old Imogen joins Casey's class and suffers from selective mutism - although her grandparents insist they have no idea why.
Not content with the explanation that Imogen is just playing up, Casey starts digging and it's not long before she starts to discover a very different side to Imogen's character. After months of silence, Imogen utters her first, terrified, words to Casey: 'I thought she was going to burn me.' Internationally bestselling author Torey Haydon returns with Beautiful Child, a stunning and poignant account of an extraordinary teacher's determination never to abandon a child in need.
Seven-year-old Venus Fox never spoke or listened. 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. Mary MacCracken's deeply moving memoir Lovey is the account of eight-year-old Hannah, who joins Mary's class and retires to a cupboard, refusing to come out.
Howling almost non-stop she was displaying the worst symptoms that Mary had ever seen. How could Mary help a child who had been shut up in closets and treated like an animal? How could she reach this lost girl?

À propos des auteurs

Casey Watson, who writes under a pseudonym, is a specialist foster carer. She and her husband, Mike, look after children who are particularly troubled or damaged by their past. Before becoming a foster carer Casey was a behaviour manager for her local comprehensive school. It was through working with these 'difficult' children - removed from mainstream classes for various reasons - that the idea for her future career was born. Casey is married with two children and three grandchildren. Torey Hayden is an educational psychologist and a special education teacher who, since 1979, has chronicled her struggles in the classroom in a succession of bestselling books.
She currently lives and writes in North Wales. Find her on MySpace at www.myspace.com/torey_hayden
