I started reading a book of my own at home once I finished A Child Called “It”, but I still had David Pelzer on my mind and was unable to get into the book so I waited until Mrs. Kulyk got me The Lost Boy, the sequel to A Child Called “It”.
I thought, as many people probably did, that David’s story ended once he escaped from his abusive mother but just by reading the back of this book I found out how wrong I was. Even without his mother in his life anymore Dave still faced more struggles than many other children could even imagine. The Lost Boy follows David through his life as foster child, being moved from home to home and never really feeling like he has a family or place to call home.
I just started reading it today but I’m already on page 99 and have only put it down to write this blog. It’s extremely captivating with a story that cannot leave a reader untouched. I’m not quite halfway through the book yet so I don’t yet have the whole struggle he went through but the fact that he had the courage to stand up in court to his mother leads me to predict that David will eventually find his right path and live a happy life.
Well that’s all I can really say for now but as I continue through this book I’ll keep posting my thoughts.

What connections can you make between the two different books? What do you think the third book will be about? Do you think that he could ever lead a truly happy life? Why, or why not? What sort of feelings did you have after reading this? What do you think it would be like? How would you feel in the situation. You have started to dig deeper with your responses, but I encourage you to continue challenge yourself and go beyond the surface with your thinking.
