The Child Called "It"

        The book The Child Called "It" was a very interesting and also sad book. This book is about the time when a little eight year old boy named Dave was being beaten by his mother. Every chapter was never not talking about Dave being abused. 

       

         When I was reading every chapter i was very disturbed by what Dave was being put through, here are a couple of examples of how Dave was being abused one is he had to be put his face and rub his face in a very poopy diaper. One other very disturbing way Dave was being beaten was by his mother demanded him to put his bare hand on one of the burners on top of the stove, and of course his hand was burning and hurting very badly but not only that he had to keep his hand on there until a certain amount of time as his mom said to.

      
 Now, for the reasons for why the book was interesting is because as i was reading i never actually realized that child abuse could get so bad especially when they are so little now i definitely think about kids are going threw the same situation as Dave did.
               
                     This book has a sequel too it, and so far the book after i had read this i had read the sequel which is the next generation of his life when he was around the age ten.  That book is called The Lost Boy.  This book has a similar summary as to the book The Child Called "It".  Dave has the similar problems as he did as well as the first book!
