Update in A Man Named Dave

So far, I have finished the book but I am behind on my posts so I want to give you a midway update. There are 15 total chapters in the book so I will give an update up to chapter eight.

Shortly after the beginning of the book, Dave is separated from his mother and becomes a foster child. He sees this as a huge relief because all the horrifying things that his mother did to him. In chapter four, we find out that Dave's dad has cancer. The doctor's tell little David that there's nothing they can do and that his dad isn't going to make. Dave doesn't want to and can't believe what they just told him. This is truly traumatizing for David who is just a young boy. Dave spends many hours with his terminally ill father because it all he has. He can't talk to his brother because his brother is nearly the same age as himself so his father is important to him. His father finally passes and David is depressed.
