A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer

The book i will be writing about is called A Child Called it, by Dave Pelzer. This book is about a 10 year old boy named Dave Pelzer who was brutally beaten and starved by his mother for a very long time. Ever since Dave was seven his mom made his life miserable. She makes him run to school every day so he wont get a chance to steal food from other kids lunches. Dave always stole food from the cafeteria but one day [Spoiler ALERT] he stole some sausages from the cafeteria and that same day his mother found out he was stealing food so when he came home from school his mother took him to the bathroom and made him throw up what he ate and he did as he was told but her mother went and got a plate picked up some barf and made him eat it and he did, he ate it all. If you want to know more you should read the book. 

The genre of this book is realistic fiction. I really enjoyed this book because the character dave he always gets up no matter how hard his mom hurts him or how long his mom waits to give him food he never gives up. He just picks up again and stays strong. I learned from this book that never give up always keep trying and just keep going no matter how hard things get just keep going. The main characters in this book are dave pelzer, and his mother. I would recommend this book to people who like Realistic fiction books.
