November Book of the Month: A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer

When I read this book, it totally blew me away. The types of punishments that Dave had to go through as a child while living with his evil mother are shocking. This book is the type of book that will make you a little sad and mad at the same time. There are also some parts where it would make your stomach turn. Dave's mother really hated him and wished that he was dead. She didn't even look at him as if he was her son anymore. Instead, she treated him like an animal. I think that this is a great book that is very touching and I think that you will really enjoy it if you haven't already read it.

October Book of the Month: FOUND by Margaret Peterson Haddix

My October book was FOUND by Margaret Peterson Haddix. In this book it talks about a boy and his friend who don't know that they're adopted. They don't really find out that they're adopted until they go into one of their basements and find letters that explain how to deal with adopted children. Some of the papers were dates of when the adoption took place and where they were from. I didn't really get much out of the book because it was a book that I chose to ditch. If you are really interested in reading mysteries I would recommend that you read it. Over all, I still found it quite interesting because I love mysteries.
