The Child called "It": A memior by Dave Pelzer

       In the beginning of October, I started this very moving memior called The Child called "It". I chose this book because last year I saw a kid reading it and I read the title, and was like woah why is this boy called "It"? So, I picked it up as my October book, and started to read it and could never put it down.

This book is basically all about a boy that is abused as a child. Dave Pelzer is in fact a very kind, young boy. But his mother for some reason I still havent figured out, doesnt like him as a child. While I read this book, I felt so bad for the boy himself. I ended up asking myself alot of questions while reading this book also. Not only was the cover of the book true, but the title of  it told the whole story. For some reason, I enjoyed the book not because of what happens, but because I like to read really stories about peoples life. I have a couple other friends reading this book also, and they really enjoyed it as well. So after reading this amazing moving memior, I decided to keep on reading the other books in this series, and i enjot them just as much as the first. I am on the third book, and I recommend this series to people that like the genre of memiors. This book does not have pictures in it, but the first book in the series is short, so I picked it also as an easy read.

As the book came to and end, I was sad because I loved reading it so much. I was so happy with the book i read the next one also, and it was just as good. I would say that the ending to the book was my most favorite part of it all. I would say if they made a movie for this, it would be very intense. I enjoyed this book very much as you can see, so I hope you give it a try too! This series is great!
