A Child Called It
A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive
by Dave Pelzer
the book (3/18/2009)
As a 11 year old I think this book is very good and on the other hand it is also upsetting because it makes you realise what and how people can be so mean and cruel to their children. When I read it I feel so sorry for Dave Pelzer for what he has been through in his childhood.
