Dear...

                 Dear Ms. Vallejo,
     
        I recommend you to read this book called A CHILD CALLED "IT" for many reasons. This book is actually based on a true story and you wouldn't believe how the mother treats his son. It touched me on how Dave (the main character) has lived through the years without no help. Their are mothers who look nice on the outside, but in the inside they are very harsh just like the mother in this book. Dave was the only one being picked on by his mother, his other brothers lived a normal life. His mother always tells Dave that he is the slave of the house and that he is no longer part of the family. I think you should read this book because you can be involved in situations like this because your the type of person who likes to help kids, since thats why your the vice principal. His mother always makes him clean dishes, pick up after everyone, and sleep in the floor in the basement with no pillow or blanket.  Dave isn't the type of kid who expresses himself out to the teachers because he doesn't tell them how he gets cuts and bruises. Dave usually cooks breakfast in the mornings for the family, but he only gets leftovers and thats why he comes to school late. Even when his mom gives birth to another boy she is very nice to the baby and moody with Dave, just him. I know you would want to read this book because you would want know about families that can be related to this book, because their can be even be worse families living in that situation. Dave's dad at times would help him sneak some food for him because mother was the boss in the house, so sadly his father left because he didn't like seeing how his son was living. He once told is son "one day you and me are going to escape and live life how it should be". When you finish reading this book you will be speechless because Dave has made a difference in his life and has became a mature adult. I know no one would like to live a life like Dave because he has been through alot and he could had died. This book can change people because you know it will be bad when a situation like this occurs. I feel that if you like this book, then you should recommend this book to others and can make a difference.
