A Child Called It was written by Dave Pelzer. This book is 184 pages and very descriptive. I would say that this book is for someone that is 14 or older because of the events that happen through his life.
This book is about Dave Pelzer in his childhood. At first he mentions that everything at home was good his mom was happy and everything was grand. Then it started turning bad, his mom was becoming abusive and was only beating him out of all of his sibilings. She would make him do horrible things and if she caught doing something that he wasn't supposed he would end up with a horrible consequence. There were times that she would make him starve, she even made him stick his hand to a hot stove. Eventually, the Department of Social Services were called and went to make sure everything was okay in the house, so when she found out about it she would start being nice to him so he wouldn't tell them anything that she did to him.
When I read this book it was hard to put the book down. I recommend this book to everyone, but I'm sure many of you have already this book. It is very touching and heartbreaking but it's like you have to keep reading to make sure he made it even though you already know he did.
I read this book last year for this first time. For me it was hard to read, but it is hard to put down, because you want to see if he makes it out or not. I dont get how the mom could be such a meanie.......
