The main character is Dave Pelzer. His mother, who is also a main character,
beats Dave. The main problem was that Dave got abused and tortured a lot.
The lesson I learned was that there are people in the world that don't
have feelings. The reader will always remember this book because of how
sad it is. The theme is that if you keep trying, you will succeed.
This novel was a really good book. This book touched my heart and I can't
believe a mother could dot that to their child. If I was a mother I wouldn't
do those things. (Adriana S., Student)

In the book The Lost Boy, by
David Pelzer, Dave is a foster child looking for a permanent home. The
cool thing about this book is everything that happened, happened to the
author.
The Lost Boy is about the
author as a young boy. He was taken from his mother because she was abusing
him and was put into a foster home. David began to move from one foster
home to another. Then, he had to go on trial to see if he could stay in
foster care or go live with his mother again. But he had already become
very close with one of his foster parents. Can he win the trial and will
he stay with his foster parents he loves so much?
I think this was a really
good book and recommend it to everyone. If you like nonfiction books and
gut wrenching drama, this is a good book for you. I really enjoyed The
Lost Boy and hope you do too. (Molly H., K-12 student) |
