Summary: A Child's Relief from Abuse
Review: What is a child to do when his mother abuses him? If he is strong and smart, He will tell someone just as Dave Pelzer does with his awesome life story, The Lost Boy. David had been physically abused by his mother, since he had done something about it at the age of 11 in response to his mother telling him to get out. As David explores the world and ends up in a pizza place, stealing quarters from a pool table. The owner notices him; he asks David where his home is, as he has no response due to his mother kicking him out. The owner called the Sheriff and took David to the station. He gives the Sheriff his phone number and his father shows up with a lie on how David got mad because he wanted to ride his bike; he ends up back with "The Mother". But then at the age of 12 teachers had finally realized it, as David was sent to Foster Care. He would get used to his foster home and get moved to a different one every year. David would get mad at those times. As he had the hardest times at the ones that he fit in well with the rest of the foster children. He also had hard times at some, where he got blamed for burning down his school when he actually put it out. David had gone to court for that and had been put at "The Hill". He got out and actually fit in with all the other foster children. David grew up and found out something had happened to his father, as he found out that his job as a fireman told him to retire early and is now living on the streets. David tries to get his own home and have his father live with him. David grows up and has a kid named Stephen, but doesn't get in too much detail as he does in his next story, A Man Named Dave. I would strongly recommend this book because you never know what will happen next and you can't put it down because it is so interesting.

Summary: A Child's Journey Toward Love & Acceptance
Review: THE LOST BOY is an inspiring biography that describes the courage of a child seeking the love of a family he wished he had. This book has touched me greatly with it's emphasis of a child's pain and suffering. All throughout the book, I can mentally embrace Dave Pelzer's cries of agony and desires for acceptance and love. THE LOST BOY is the second book in this fascinating trilogy of Dave's rough life. After being released by his mother's grasp of abuse and torment, he then sets out to numerous foster homes for a family. But he never managed to find that decent home without heading toward Juvenile Hall and total rejection. He wanted the acceptance of the mother who brutally abused in as a child and the loyalty of the father who couldn't protect him from his mother's wretched ambitions. Wherever he turned, confusion and despair blocked him from searching happiness. I love this book very much because of it's realism and grasping story. I'd definitely recommend it to just about anyone.

Summary: The Lost Boy Review
Review: The book The Lost Boy by David Pelzer, was a poorly written book. David failed to express his feelings as a foster child in this book, therefore there is no connection between the character and the reader. Knowing the feelings emerging from inside the character is an important key to get into the book. Without them, it can cause the book to drag on and seem almost never ending. I wouldn't recomend to read this book even if the first book had been read and enjoyed.

Summary: David Pelzer made it again
Review: Reading his first book "A chiled called it" I was happy for it was a small book - in number of pages - what Mr.Pelzer went through as a child is unbearable, reading it was not easy, it was so touching that I was crying. "The lost Boy" wasn't easy either, I read the book in three hours, couldn't put it down until finished. Again, Mr.Pelzer put me into tears mixed with hope. He broke out of his troubled childhood.. he actually srtuggled.. and did great. I salute his courage, determination, and achievements. I will start reading his third sequel "A Man Named Dave" and am happy to have read about such an outstanding person.

Summary: DAVID PELZER 'S JOURNEY TOUCHES US ONCE MORE.
Review: If you are not familiar with David Pelzer, you should begin with, "A Child Called It," which takes the reader through the real-life horror of child abuse. In "The Lost Boy," you will once again be amazed at David's personal inner strength. David describes his experience in foster homes, his rebellion, his feelings and pain. We see a boy fighting to survive and grow in a world without love. The fact he tries so desperately hard to please others, even those who have been so cruel to him, is evidence of his need to be loved and accepted for the beautiful person he is. David has the courage of a lion, a heart of gold, and the soul of an angel. Thanks to David Pelzer, his writings and work, and to all other victims who have the courage to speak out, a loud and clear message is being sent to every corner of the world. From the highest mountain, to the most lowest valleys of the Earth,the message rings clear, "THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY FOR THOSE WHO ABUSE CHILDREN."

Summary: Surviving alone
Review: The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer is the exciting autobiography sequel to The Child Called It. After a long time of abuse from his mother, Dave's teachers notified the police about his abuses. David was rescued and put into a temporary home to wait to go to a court trial with the help of his social worker, Ms. Gold. As a result of the court trial, David was put into the custody of the court rather than his mother. Then, he had to move into a foster home owned by Rudy and Lilian Catanze. Because of long-term child abuse, Dave was in the psychological sickness of wanting to steal and wanting to get attention by his peers. So, he often got into trouble involving stealing. Once, he got into trouble for being the scapegoat of his so-called friend. His "Friend" set a fire in a classroom and David was the one who put it out, but everyone thought it was Dave who did it. So, he had to go to juvenile court and his mother set up a court case saying she abused David becasue of his troublesome actions like setting objects on fire. It turned out that she had no real evidence and there was not actual evidence saying David set the fire in the classroom. So, David was only send to juvenile hall for about a month because of his suspected involvement in the fire deed. After David was released from juvenile hall, he went to 3 foster homes. He was not able to stay in one foster home for long because of unlucky incidents. Finally, he ends up staying at Harold and Alice Turnbough's home.
