The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
by Dave Pelzer
Love this book with a passion!!! (11/14/2006)
The Lost Boy, that was a good title for the book because it just had so much in common. I'm just 15 and I really feel sorry for everything he went through. Going to foster houses every time it wasn't right. Had to work at a young age and being responsible for everything. This book is just a great book to read but hopefully he finally found a place he could called home!
A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive
by Dave Pelzer
Great book but so sad!!! (11/14/2006)
This was a book that most attracted my attention when I was an eight grader because one of my language arts teachers show us the book and recommended to us since then I had trouble trying to find the book because it was on hold someone was reading it or it was lost. Until this year my tenth grade year as a high schooler I went straight to the library and asked for the book and they give it to me. As I started to read it I thought it was going to be just a typical book that is about child abuse but as I read more and more I realized that what I thought in the beginning was wrong. This book was really sad I cried a lot with it specially in the part his mom was about to kill him and stab him by an "accident". I think this book could get more than a five I loved this book and the other ones too.
