Book Review By Lindsey
A Child Called 'It' by David Pelzer

This is the story of Dave when he was a boy being abused by his mother. It is one of the worst cases of not only beating, but also of other mental and physical abuse.
    Dave is put through things such as being left in the basement, not being fed, and having to throw up the food that he stole. Sometimes he was even made to eat his own vomit. He was made to be locked in a bathroom with terrible fumes of clorox and ammonia.
