This is a book that is not for little kids! The punishments that Dave suffers, and eventually survives, is impossible to even imagine...a young kid experiencing severe abuse. I couldn't get through reading the book without crying. Dave wrote this book for his anger mangement classes to deal with all the anger that he held for his mother. I love this story because it really grabded my attention with all the drama that happens in it. I couldn't put the book down! I rate this true story a five out of five stars.

This is one of the most frequently-read books in our library. Dave's story continues in "Lost Boy," "The Privilege of Youth," and a "Man Named Dave." Horrifically, once Dave was removed from his mother's home, her abuse extended to Dave's brother, Richard. You can read his story in "A Brother's Journey."
i didnt now that there were more books out about him and his abuse problem???but i agree i did a bookreveiw on it 2 and it almost made me cry 2...and i also agree with not being able to put the book down it was impossble for me...you should really try reading some of the books by Mary Downing Hahn... check into it sometime
