A Child Called "It"

The beginning of this book starts off at a very intense point of view. The dramatic element of it has to do with a young boy and how his mother abuses him. He tries to cover up bruises and makes excuses at school, but the nurse knows what is really going on. Then, the principal and a few teachers come into play and they want to help him get away. The boy, David, sits down with a police officer and ends up tellling him everything about his mom. There is a phone call that is made that makes David nervous and thinks that his mom is going to beat him again, but little does he know that the officer is letting him be free.
