Helpful Score: 2

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer is a fantastic book that is deeply touching, revealing, one of the saddest stories you'll ever read, yet also one of the most inspiring. This story written by the man that was once the child called "It", is the deeply moving story of a boy who is being abused by his alcoholic mother. With no where to turn and no way to explain to anyone what is happening to him due to his intense fear of his tormentor, the boy called "It" is forced into one horrible situation after another, both physically and emotionally. This is such an intense story you'll find yourself crying for the young child, relating to him, and cheering him on despite it all. The story of a courageous, strong individual, this book will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Not only that, but it will have you wanting to read the sequels to it as well.
