A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer is the title up my book all
his books relate because they all are true stories. The book is about a young
boy trying to survive with the abuse of his mother. The young boy is Dave
Pelzer the author of the book. He goes through the most horrible things.
The boy is abused by his mother almost every day. The abuse
his mom gives him is very brutal. His mom would abuse him for no reason
sometimes. The boy had to go to school with broses and cuts. His dad was never
around when the abuse would happen. His younger brother didn’t not get abused
as much as he did.
I liked the book because it gives a lot of detail on what
happened in the story. I also liked it because it is a true story and is very
interesting. I would recommend this book to everyone. If you like books that
keep you on the edge of your chair I would recommend this too you. It’s a very
good book because it shows you what some children go through every day.

Tia is right this book does keep you at the edge of your seat and its is based on a true story. This book does make the reader visualize the dramatic lives that some children go through almost everyday until they are able stand up for themselves, as Tia explains in her review. I recommend this book because it really makes you appreciate what you have and the way you live as to how Dave lived as a child with no help. A Child Called It does not only make your appreciate what you have but also lets you realize that, what Dave (main character) went through could be happening right now and you can something about it. This book is really heart touching because it takes you through a journey and you feel like you are there with him and how he survives really touches you.
I liked this book because as he tells the story he takes you through this journey. So if you like books that make you visualize what is happening than this is the right book for you. The journey this author takes you through is so powerful and will make such an impact to you. This is such an amazing book there is nothing to not like about it. If you like sad stories and a meaning full yet powerful messages coming from the book than you will like this book.

Im very interested in reading this book. I think I will like it because it will show what its was like to be that little boy at the time. im looking forward to seeing how he deals with all the things he has been through and hearing his testimony. I think this book will be interesting because It will show me a kid that's had It a lot harder than I have. It will probably make me grateful of what I have in my life. Also it will show me how lucky I am too have people in my life that care about me. This story reminds me of book called Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. Both of the stories tell a testimonies of children that have been through horrible things. They both make you appreciate the things we have in life. im really looking forward to reading this book
