A Child Called 'It' by Dave Pelzer.

A few years back at school I was told to read and write about a true story, I wasn't really into reading but I had heard a lot about this book so chose this to read and do my essay on.

Dave' s a young child who suffer's and the hand's of his alcoholic mother, who no longer see's him as her son, he is an 'it'. His Dad his only saviour at the time worked away and his other brother's and sister's were forced to ignore Dave as if he was invisable and not there.

This is a brutal tale and shows how nobody else even realised the suffering this child was going through. This book shows how strong some people must be to write about their awful childhood and also how sickening some people can be for putting not just a child but their own child through it.

It was a heart wrenching read and I could not put the book down once I started I must have been bleary eyed in school as it only took me around 3 nights to read.

I thouroughly enjoyed this book and do not have a bad word to say about it. However, be aware that it is a sickening story and some people may be upset by the truthful things this child went through, I have aso went on to read The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave which tells the story to the very end and how he survived.

I recommend all the books by Dave Pelzer it was an enjoying but upsetting read that grips you and makes you feel the pain this child was going through.

Summary: Gripping Book a Must Read!!
