When i read this book i thought it was sad. because no one should go throught whta he went through. I liked this book. It was about a boy name Dave pelzer who was abused as a child. Some of the chalenges he goes throught are that he cant find a family that loves him and acually accepts him for who he is.This story is a good story about dave life and how he had to go throught what he did. It is rreally sad. If oyu read the first one i serioulsly consider reading this one it is the second in three series. The first on The Lost Boy was also a good book it was more sadd but i thought it was a good 5 star book.You really should be 11 or polder to read this book because there is some bad language and there are some hard words to understand. But you should deffintiotly read this book

This book gives the reader a fascinating and personal look inside not just the foster care system, but why they are very much so needed. Young Dave's life was very likely saved by being taken from his mother's home and placed into foster care. But this book makes it clear, that despite this positive change in is life, it certainly didn't mean everything was "happily ever after". Dave then struggled with issues ranging from not knowing some of the mere basics that other twelve years olds know by that age, ranging from as simple as how to take a proper bath to how to behave with proper manners. It also gives you a good look at the struggle these hard working foster homes and parents go through. They deal day in and day out with children coming from troubled homes, and these foster homes are in such high demand that they end up cramped to the brim. I think many of us, myself included, are unaware of just what a struggle it is for both the foster children and the foster parents, as well as how much we need to support these people. They are dedicating themselves to a truly needed and wonderful cause.

Thanks again Dave, for having the courage to share your beautiful story of heartache and triumph with us!

You read the first book, A Child Called "It". You couldn't put it down. Now, here's the continuation. In this book, David is abused, but he's had enough! It's time to make a change, and get out, but will David leave his family or stay and take the hits? Yes, maybe this book won't entail you as much as it's older sibling, but it'll definetly expand your view on things. The Lost Boy is another quick-read, not to skip through, but to read super fast, because you'll love it too much. The Lost Boy follows in the footsteps of A Child Called "It", as it pulls you into the exploding world of young David Pelzer.

A boy named Davied was beat on by his mother and always did what she told him to. But then one day he ran away and got put in a foster home with lovly partens thow he was still scared but he leaned that being free was wounderly, I wont give away the ending but it shows us how us kids are lucky then others kids are and that we could live a life like that one of these days. It alos tells that he loved to be a troble maker but he found ou thtat you dont have to do bad things to get attention all the time. also to for happy for what parents we have cause they might of had a life like that.
