A Child Called It

The book a child called it by David Pelzer is about an innocent boy who gets treated unfairly by his unfit mother. The theme of this book is to always have a positive mind and never lose hope.  Other books written by David Pelzer: Lost boy and a boy named David

David Pelzer was burned, beaten, and even cut by his mother all at a young age. David doesn’t understand why his mother all of a sudden treats him this way. She didn’t used to act like this when he was younger he says. The only time David gets treated badly is when his dad is at work. David says his dad is his hero.

David’s punishments get worse and worse by the week. David has so much fear in his mother he refuses to tell “their secrets”. When David goes to school his most popular excuse is “I ran into the door” the staff at David’s school begins to worry and ask questions. David begs that they don’t call his mother he knows that if he gets a Phone call home he’s going to “get it”.

I recommend this book to any/everyone. You should read this book because it is a very interesting book and also a page turner. I enjoy this book because it is a true story, it makes you want to read on and you get the full effect on David’s life.
