highly recommended

this is the sequel to a child called it and i think that it is just as good. one of my old teachers told me to read this and im glad she did because it had just as much emotion as the firat book did. this book is a lot more serious than the first one because dave is kind of in his recovery stage since he is now living in an orfanage. he faces many challenges including going to court, trying to forgive his mom and dealing with new siblings. this is a very interesting book and i think that anybody that likes a heartwarming sotry should read this.

family love

The Lost Boy

The lost Boy was an autobiography, written by Dave Pelzer. As a child, Dave experienced child abuse. He never had a real home. He had an alcoholic father who was irresponsible of the family and a mother who treated him like an "it", giving him barely any rights and freedom. Despite harsh punishments such as beatings, chores, hunger and physiological tortures, Dave was not a part of the family. He thought that he would feel the same way for the rest of his life because he believed there was no escape from his mother. But a chance came that changed Dave life. He rescued himself from all the abuses and started a new life as a foster child.
As a foster child, Dave later finds meaning in life by searching for the love of a real family. He had been through five different foster families during his adolescent years, but he is still determined to find the love of a family. Since he was not loved by his parents in his childhood, he is desperate for family love. Although he was discouraged by idea of family life, he was still determined to seek for a place he really fit in.
From the eyes of a child, the author wanted to tell us how devastating child abuses could be and how the author struggled to survive in this world with the memories of child abuses and discriminations as a foster child. If the author didn't make the choice to leave his mother, he might face more abuses which could lead to more serious consequences of child abuse. He knew that family love was the one thing that meant to him most; therefore, he tried very hard to learn the meaning of life by seeking a real home. Although he had gone through so much in his life, he managed to write a great novel! I LOVE THIS BOOK!
The Lost boy is the best novel ever! It let you know so much more about child abuse and its consequences. Despite that, after reading this book, you will realize how lucky you are living in this world and the importance of treasuring everything you have including family love.

One of my favorites.

"David, you're free. Your mother is never going to hurt you again." David, a nine year old abused boy, lived in fear of his mother since he was six years old. He then got the chance to finally get away. He became a foster child. The Lost Boy, a sequel from A Child Called "It", is a life changing, heart breaking experience. During his battle to find a place to call a home, he moves in and out of five different foster homes. By only living out of a paper bag and the ripped clothes on his back, he learns what it means to feel otherness or to be alone. From an abused boy, to a foster child, and now to a grown man, Dave Pelzer is a walking testament of what it means to live out of the ordinary. For ages 13 and up, learn about the struggles and pain a boy had to go through to find love.

The Lost Boy

I would totally recommend this book to anyone who wants to read this book. I support this book because it is a story of believing and helping people in need. The Lost Boy, I couldn't put down because every chapter something good or bad would happen to Dave and I would have to keep reading on. The surprises in the story were when Dave had seen his younger brother Russell, with bruises and marks on his arms and legs. This made me very sad because his mother had started abusing Russell. The people that would enjoy reading The Lost Boy are people who need a little hope or faith in their lives, or anybody who like a good story.

"The Lost Boy" is a magnificant and captivating novel. When I first picked up this book I would not let go of it. When I first started reading it I did not want to let go of it.

He encounters his mother and who he loves after what all she did to him. Deep in her heart he finds something in her that tells him that she loves him.
