gillyweed200 's review for:
I read this book after reading the first installment of David Pelzer's series, 'A Child Called It'. I don't think it's completely necessary to have read the first book but I think it would definitely help if you had, it gives you a better idea of the full picture.
This is not as poignant and hard hitting as the first book was. That being said, it still gives a powerful and touching depiction of the foster care system and David's personal struggles. Prior to reading this book I didn't really know much about the foster care system and David's story was really enlightening in that respect.
This book was fairly short but succeeded in getting its message across; that David would have most probably died had it not been for the foster care system.
The most moving parts of this book were at the end where people in David's life such as his social worker and teacher gave accounts of what they remembered and how proud they were of David.
A deeply moving and poignant story of absolute strength and bravery.
Would recommend.
