The child called ‘it’ is a book about a story of one child’s courage and determination to survive. D ave Pelzer was being abused by his mother by being beaten and starved. He had to do the house chores if not he would not be given anything to eat, which he was afraid of. Dave also wore torned and old school uniform to school and because of starvation; he started to steal other’s lunches. Dave did not even have a proper place to sleep and if he was to look at his two brothers, Dave would be slapped. Overtime, Dave was not regarded as part of the family and a boy but an ‘it’. He relied on his dad and brothers as a protection because mom would not do anything in their presence.
