A Child Called It

Do you like heart wrenching non-fiction? If you do, you should read A Child Called It by David Pelzer. This book is about a little boy named David. He starts off with a pretty cool life. But one day his mom got really drunk and struck him in the face. A couple weeks later while his bothers were at school his mother made him take off all of his clothes and lay on the burning stove. I put this detail in because I thought that was the most horrific event that had happened in this book. This book takes you in to when he has finished the fifth grade. While he was in fifth grade he had to run to school even, sometimes he had to ditch school and go to the mini mart down the road and steal food to solve his hunger. This book has taught me that we are fortunate that we do not have a mother like David’s.
