Hi Gang,
I just submitted "Somebody Else's Kids" by Torey Hayden.  As always it's an 
RTF. There are tons of nick names and other names that are probably not going 
to be in the automated dictionary.

summary: 
They were all "just somebody else's kids"-four problem children placed in Torey 
Hayden's class because nobody knew what else to do with them. They were a 
motley group of children in great pain: a small boy who echoed other people's 
words and repeated weather forecasts; a beautiful seven year old girl brain 
damaged by savage parental beatings; an angry and violent ten year old who had 
watched his stepmother murder his father; a shy twelve year old who had been 
cast out of Catholic school when she became pregnant. But they shared one thing 
in common: a remarkable teacher who would never stop caring-and who would share 
with them the love and understanding they had never known to help them become a 
family.
