Great book
This book is very moving. I own the hard back copy and I have read it over and over.
Where is his Trilogy???
A Child Called It, The Lost Boy & A Man Named Dave are all amazing books! I searched Dave Pelzer hoping to find any one of those but instead found none?! :( :( I don't understand!
remarkable
the story was incredibly touching. it showed that there are cruel ppl in the world thats hurt children jus because of some deep down inside issue they have with there self, or because of something that happened with there childhood. It showed that the boy was very strong even tho all the torture he went thro from his on family. I commend and applaud the author Dave Pelzer for this remarkable story.
