The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer (1997, Paperback, Revised)

Real Good book to read i recommend i t o anyone who like to read book on this subject. It s very touchin and makes you think about how life can be so harsh on you as a kid.

A good book series. Good seller. I will buy from him again if I find a book I am interested in reading

I bought this book because I had read the first one called 'A Boy Called It' and this was the second one in the series. I like reading stories about real people and real experiences. Even though I felt horrible about what he went through growing up in an abusive home, I could hardly put the book down. It is an easy reader and once you start it, you won't be able to put it down easily. The whole series is wonderful. A must read!

I bought this book as a gift for my 12 year old granddaughter. She had previously read A Boy Called It and really enjoyed the story. I told her there was another book by the same author, and she wanted to read it. She has not yet finished the book, but did tell me, so far, it's been interesting. I think reading is a wonderful way for young people to spend their spare time. If I can help trigger the desire to read, I'll do it. I also have a 14 year old granddaughter who loves to read. I have ordered books for her as well. My 6 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter are just learning to read. When the time comes, I'll buy books for them as well.

Excellent book. I couldn't put it down. Finished the book in two days. I read the first book and had to get this one. I have ordered the last book in this fascinating trilogy and can't wait to read that one. Dave Pelzer is a amazing man and writer.

A must read!! I'm not a reader but this series by David Peltzer is just unbelievable! Once you start with the 1st book, "A child called IT" you can't stop! You have to move on to the next then the next! All ages love these books & make you grateful for your life!

It is the sequel to A Boy Called It. David Pelzer is such a good author. It's an easy read that takes you into the his life growing up in foster homes and the stereotypes he had to overcome. It's just a very moving book.

THIS IS THE BOOK SECOND IN THE SERIES. AN EXCELLENT CONTINUATION OF A CHILD CALLED IT. YOU JUST WANT TO WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND HIM AND JUST HOLD HIM CLOSE TO LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR HIM. AND YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM AND RAISE HIM LIKE A SON. A MUST READ BOOK

have not yet begun to read... condition as described, arrived very quickly. I am a professor of health education and was invovled in a class discussion with my students about child abuse... This author came up.

I decided to buy it cause i love to read and its a heart breaking true story. It is an insite to a cruel mind and later hope for a child.

An insight on Foster Care that the general public needs to understand and support their efforts in the care of children who have come from less than 'normal' circumstance

I bought this book after reading the first one called A Boy Called It. Although these books are terribly sad they are fantastic and you will be unable to put them down. I am now reading the last one called A Man Named Dave and I am enjoying that one as well. I highly recommend these 3 books to everyone that loves a tear jerker.

Ship was very fast. Book was in very good shape. This is a very good book. I am very pleased with the seller and the book

This book is just one of several written by the author. The true account of severe child abuse that he suffered at the hand of his mother is astonishing! His spirit, and the courage to survive is amazing. Parts of this book were hard to read and I found myself crying. Every child in America should read this book, so when they are adults, they will be able to notice when a child is abused and take appropriate action. It certainly made me appreciate the childhood that I had and the love from my family. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Read "A Child Called It" first.

We LOVE all of these books. Quite moving, especially since my wife grew up in a similar situation. Thankfully, she made it out just like Dave did. We are going to foster and adopt, and these books have let me see through my future children's eyes in a way I could never have. Now I understand what my wife went through better. My eleven year old daughter is reading a Child Called It right now. It's speaking to her, too. Just maybe she'll grow up and rescue someone out of that pain, too.

I read the first one called A Boy Named It and just had to see how his life ended. I couldn`t put the book down.It was spell binding.

The book was in good condition and shipped in a very fast manner. Will visit the site again. Thank you

Both books were very very good.Had someone tell me about these books and wanted to read them.How could any one do this to there child?

this book brought me to tears. and made me laugh. it showed me how fortunate i am. i want to be a social worker when i grow up, and this book just encouraged me more.
if you have not read this book, you need to. David Pelzer's words stay with you long after you finish the page.
thank you

well i love this books. i have read it in school in thought i might like to have a copying of mine own.

The book is in good shape. My daughter loved reading it. I intend to. The price was right and I heard from friends that the series is good reading.

This is an excellent story for those who work in the child protection field as well as for those who love children. It is an inspirational story that motivates, captivates, and inspires.

I first read A Child Called It after having received it as an employee appreciation gift. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I quickly order the other two books which made me cry, made me angry, and also inspired me to be the best social worker, caregiver, and human being possible. I recommend it!!!

This is a very good book. It makes you cry. It is amazing triumph of a little boy and what he has over come. I owned "The child called It", and I wanted to know the rest of the story so I purchased "The lost boy". This is a book that is hard to put down after you start to read it.
