I heard from other people that A Child Called "It" was a excellent book and you could NEVER put it down! Then my English teacher gives this assignment: To reads at least 3 books by a author that you can choose. So I decided that I would read books by Dave Pelzer. I was on …more the 3rd chapter and I didn't want to put it down! It's such a good book and I hope everyone can read it b/c than everyone knows that what people go through every day. Its so sad to hear from people that they go through child abuse! I'm done reading A Child Called "It" and now I'm almost done with The Lost Boy. (less)
