Book Review of A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive

A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


This book was very compelling. It is a sad tale of a boy named "Dave" whom his mother referred to as "it". It is horrifying to think this abuse was going on right under the noses of neighbors, school administration, etc. You will feel Dave's pain from the first page to the end. Note: you will want to read the sequel(s) to this book to see what has happened to the rest of his life.
