A Child called "It"


Hello,I actually started reading a book!Its a miracle!(HaAhLuYa,HaAhLuYa) This is THE BEST BOOK! You must read it!! It got #3 On the NewYork times Book list thingy.I started reading it the other Day.Its not a Child book its for Teens and Up.I suggest you pick this book and glue your eyes to these pages.This is what the story is about:

This is the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. Dave Pelzer was brutally beaten & starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played torturous, unpredictable games - games that left him nearly dead. This child had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; & no longer a boy but an "it." Through each struggle readers find themselves enduring his pain, comforting his loneliness & fighting for his will to survive. This compelling story will awaken readers to the truth about child abuse & the ability we all have to make a difference.
