More uplifting than A Child Called IT

Dave Pelzer is now away from that horrible thing he called "Mother" just to find himself in another life that's is just as unforgiving. Dave is now bouncing from foster home to foster home and automatically dubbed a bad child. He's finding it hard to fit into a normal lifestyle and struggeling to fit in by stealing and falling in with the wrong crowd. It's heartwarming to see him grow with foster parents who love him no matter what and case managers who are willing to go the extra mile to keep Dave safe. His mother is still around and threatening him and as a result Dave is very confused and terrified that he will be returned to his mother and have to go through what he went through again. I suggest that if you read A Child Called It then read this book too. It's a great sequel and leaves a better taste in your mouth than the first one did.

Heatbreaking!!!

Very easy read in terms of text and format. Difficult read based on subject matter. Images you will not soon forget. This was ordered for a sophmore health class...I just happened to read out of curiosity. Disturbing for young readers.

The Lost Boy

The Lost Boy
Author: Dave Pelzer
Book review by: Casey Therrian
6th Grade, Mrs. Roberts

A lost boy looking for a home and the love of a family. He has almost no
possessions accept his old and torn clothes. His so called family is no help
to him his mother is an alcoholic and his dad doesn't make his own decisions. This is a true story about the author of the book, Dave Pelzer

The setting in story is mostly at the home and the foster home. At first it is just at the home...not so pretty, and then when he gets sent to the foster home we spend most of the story there.

The main characters Dave Pelzer put in this book is David the little boy, Mother the one who abuses David, Father who very much doesn't care, Aunt Mary the lady who watches him at the foster home, and Mrs. Gold the sweet lady who helps David get through this. There is more characters but they were not mentioned in the book as much. There is no story without David though because He's the whole story

The little boy lives with his parents, but he got tired of her abuse so he ran off, gets found and took into a foster home. Where he is still not accepted.

Is this young boy ever going find a family to love and comfort him, to give him a feeling he's never felt before?

The theme of this book is...odd everything happens at once and it just jumps out at you, get ready...you might just get hooked...

I would for sure recommend this book to anyone, this book "The Lost Boy" is an emotional book. It shows you what is really important in life.

The End
