My first independent reading book was called, "Killing Britney", and my second book is called, "A Child Called It". These two books do not have much in common becauce Britney is dealing with a murder and solving crime scenes while David is getting abused by his mother. "Killing Britney" has to do more with mystery and murder than "A Child Called It" isn't really a mystery because you can see that he is being abused and know that how he feels and everything is straight forward; no mystreries. The one thing that these two books have in common is that they both have the same hatred for their mothers. It's pretty obvious that they feel that way because Britney's mother had never really shown affection and for sure David's mom doesn't show affection every now and then, in fact, rarley she shows any emotion except for hatred and annoyance towards David.
