The Lost Boy pt 1

I read the first chapter in Dave Pelzer's sequal to A Child Called It. It doesn't take place right after the events in first book. It's really interesting because he started the first book off with the end of it, and now he starts the second one with someone from the past at the beginning. So he was going about his usual routine ( which of course is completly insane) of getting beaten; he is sitting at the bottom of the stairs and his mom and dad get into an arguement which eventually leads up to a conflict about him. This time there is a twist though, his mom gives him a chance to leave or stay. He leaves and wanders the streets searching for the river his family went to in the past. He wanders into a pizza place and finds a dude who gives him a pizza but the guy called the cops and they took him away. His mom even sent his dad to go get him from the police station who played it off completly and took him home, the very person he had hoped to save him. I really look forward to seeing what actually happened after the cop let him out of his car in the first book.
