The Lost Boy

By Dave Pelzer

In this sequel to A Child Called 'It', we follow Dave on his journey through the foster care system from the age of 12 until he turns 18. He goes through painful lessons along the way, including the difficult task of fitting into a family he can rely on. As soon as he becomes attached to the foster parents, he is torn away and moved into a new foster home.

This book is also a tribute to all foster parents; people who make a difference in a young person's life and shapes them forever on their path to adulthood. Although an uplifting story, it also shows how the actions of poster parents may trigger negative experiences from the past.

A book filled with tears, laughter, devastation and hope, but most of all a very inspirational story. It is a story that speaks to your heart, as it tells you of one child's struggle to thrive in life while facing extreme difficulties.
