Heart-wrenching journey beyond a child's silence.

"Silent Boy" reveals the extraordinary bond that can form between a dedicated teacher and a child locked in silence. Hayden's compassionate approach to reaching Kevin, the boy who hasn't spoken for years, is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the power of patience and love in the face of trauma. This story will resonate with you, and perhaps change the way you think about the untapped potential within every child, especially those who are misunderstood or overlooked by society.

Description

From the author of Sunday Times bestsellers One Child and Ghost Girl comes a heartbreaking story of a boy trapped in silence and the teacher who rescued him. When special education teacher Torey Hayden first met fifteen-year-old Kevin, he was barricaded under a table. Desperately afraid of the world around him, he hadn't spoken a word in eight years. He was considered hopeless, incurable. But Hayden refused to believe it, though she realised it might well take a miracle to break through the walls he had built around himself. With unwavering devotion and gentle, patient love, she set out to free him -- and slowly uncovered a shocking violent history and a terrible secret that an unfeeling bureaucracy had simply filed away and forgotten. Torey refused to give up on this tragic "lost case." For a trapped and frightened boy desperately needed her help -- and she knew in her heart she could not rest easy until she had rescued him from the darkness.
