text: has any body read these books...........................................? a child called it,the lost boy ,a man named dave if so give me proof yes, i read "a child called it" before and it was written by dave peltzer. it's a sad story to happen to a boy especially being done by a parent! through the book, one could learn a lot from the hardship he come through to be the man he is now. it's one of the most inspiring book i read and always be a good book to read to those who give away their life to drugs or any other vices while they have "good parents and money to live by", because this book could waken them up to be a good person inside out.     i haven't read the other books but it's been written by dave peltzer too.
