A Child Called It is a heart wrenching tale of one child's survival in the cruelest world imagined. I used this book in my sophomore high school class. The author talked at length to one of my students when I let her call him as the whole class listened. He talked to her a number of times. She was pretty much homeless and he encouraged her.

Although there are some unanswered questions that they say are answered in books 2 & 3, this books was breathtaking. I just finished it today & I tell you there were moments where I was crying & moments you just wanted to reach into the book & hold the little boy to save him. This is definately a true eye opener as to the issues of child abuse in this country. If you have ever doubted the severity of child abuse, this true story will open your eyes to a whole new world of what some poor children do have to endure. I do not know how David Pelzer became the man he did, but thank goodness for those who did have a hand in saving him from a life that noone should have to endure. It took ALOT of courage I would say to have to relive those moments to write this book. I am so glad he finally has the happy life he says he has now. This is a MUST READ for anyone who believes that the child abuse issue is overrated. I know I hugged my children more & more as I read this book.Read full review
This book is my favorite I cry every time I read it. I haven't read the other two yet but they on my list to order next ☺️ and what made it even better is it arrived 6 days early best book to read but be prepared to have a broken heart and anger and relief! No child should ever go through what this poor baby did I have five boys three of my own and two stepsons and i would never imagine my kids going through this babies pain!! Can't wait to read the other two!

I had never read an entire book in one day until I received this book. I could not put the book down, which is brilliantly written by the child that underwent horrible abuse at the hands of his own mother. If I had not read the first chapter titled The Rescue, I don't think I could have continued reading what this child endured. It is a story of a child's will to overcome his circumstances, and his will to survive. Many incidents are difficult to read but you will continue to see how David gets through it all. There are two sequels documenting David's life after the end of this book. I cannot wait to read them both, to cheer on his spirit and courage.
