The Lost Boy Reflection

         The book is Called, The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer, and it's a Autobiography               12/11/17                                    

     This book is about the continuation of A Child Called "It". Dave finally been rescued from his mother and he's been put into 5 different foster homes. He'll stay at a home for a few months and move to another home. When he starts to get comfortable with the family, the school, and with the friends he made, he'll move to a different foster home and has to start all over. It was difficult for him to adjust. He has no place to call home. My favorite part is when he moved to a foster home that treated him amazingly. He was happy with this family, he made friends. He actually felt loved.

     The main character is Dave and he's tough. I know this because in the book it talks about how he left his family and sometimes he start to miss his mom, dad, and siblings but he knows they aren't good for him and even if it's hard for him, he still moves on.

    I liked this book because it showed Dave moving in with different families, and how his life started to change ever since he moved away from his mom, and now he's always so happy. A little boy who got abused, is now happy with his life. Why I didn't like this book is sometimes the book gets kind of got boring in some parts. It took a while to read those uninteresting parts. But besides that, it was a good book. Yes I will recommend this to a friend only if they read A Child Called it. The Lost Boy is less emotional unlike A Child Called It. But I really recommend reading A Child Called It first. The lesson that is learned in the story is that things will eventually get better. Dave was going through a lot in A Child Called It, but his life started to come together. He's now happy with his life and happy that he moved away from the person who was causing him all this pain.
