"After a few sweeps I shook my head `She`s gone! She`s not there!'" The book, The Lost Boy bye Dave Pelzer, is about a boy named David who goes into foster care. His mom, (who is the actual crazy person) thinks her son, David should go into a Mental Institution! I think that she has already punished him enough, but apparently she will still try harder. On page 203, Lillian (David's first foster parents) tells David how his mom has been trying to put him down since he went intofoster care! She try's everything in her power to tell everyone that David is crazy. She tells lies about David like starting fires and much more! I think that ages 13 and older could read this book. I think that anyone under the age of 13 wouldn't really understand this book very well. The setting of the book is in a couple different places, in court, and in different foster homes. This Non-Fiction book tells a true story of how David Pelzer servives his life untill he is eighteen, when he has to move out on his own! It is an interesting book, and I believe that people will like it. (It is a very emotional book.)

Excellent True Story
This book is a great follow-up to A Child Called It that leaves you wondering what ever happens to David.It tells another great true story leaving you even more curious about what's in store for David.I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoyed A Child Called It.

Heartwrenching
(This is the sequel to A Child Called It)A truly amazing story of Dave Pelzer, the little boy who was viciously abused by his mother.Again, I can't come close to understanding the viciousness of this woman and how she could treat her own son this way.It is truly amazing that Dave survived and became successful as he did.Dave is so right about Foster Care and the System.I met a woman at work who became a Foster Parent and I truly looked at her in a different light.It takes an extraordinary person to commit themselves to something like that.I really admired her.This book brought tears to my eyes.Truly inspirational.

Abuse and Recovery
I have never been much of an avid 'Real Life Story' reader I'm more of a Science Fiction reader, but the book 'Child Called It' was recommended to me by a co-worker. Once I read the first book I was hooked. This story, as well as those that came both before and after, is heartbreaking and yet at the same time amazing. It is so stunning that a child who grew up through such abuse, neglect and loneliness could survive to grow up into the man who is able to share his story so well with others. This heart wrenching story will keep you captivated as you find yourself seeing things through the eyes of David and you wait, holding your breath, for the next chapter to see what happens to him next. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is an amazing story of survival and triumph of one young boy to one grown man.

Wow!What a tale.
I don't know if "enjoyed" would be the right word to describe how I felt about reading this book.I had much in common with the writer because we lived only blocks away.I found myself wishing I had know about him at the time, so I could have rescued him.I had already finished high school and may have stood up for him.His story was so tragic.I thought my life was bad...it paled in significance.The amazing thing about this kid, is his ability to live through this and bounce back to a functioning adult.Bravo Dave Pelzer...I applaud you. ...
