The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer

"Imagine a young boy who has never had a home. His only possessions are the old torn clothes he carries in a paper bag.His only world is isolation and fear. Although this young boy has been rescued from his alcoholic mother, the real hurt is just beginning-he has no place to call home." (From the back cover of The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer)

So over the past few days I've been reading The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer for a book report at school. I like this book a lot so I figured I would share a little review of it.
The Lost Boy is a sequel to A Child Called "It." The book is about author, Pelzer, and how he was brutally abused as a child. Now, A Child Called "It" mainly talks about the abuse he went through and how he tried to survive as a young child. The Lost Boy is more about what happened after he was taken out of his home and put into foster care. He goes from home to home, struggling to find a place he can call his home. He also has to deal with all of his emotions after being abused and struggles with how to deal with those emotions, and fitting in. Dave is truly an outcast. Both of these book are extremely interesting, detailed, real, and inspiring for any reader. If you read The Lost Boy, or A Child Called "It" then I would really like to know what your thoughts are on it. Personally, I think it's an inspiring book that really opened my eyes see to how lucky I am, and how grateful I am that I have a family that loves and cares for me, I don't have to struggle to survive or find food.

Well, I'm off to write a book report...oh the excitement is overwhelming!
