In the story there were not only mean people but also mean animals. I felt bad that Josh and his dog were both getting bullied. I know that I have heard of people training their dogs to be mean and hurt other animals and other people. When I read about River Gang I thought about those mean dogs that are captured on the news for hurting others. I would recommend this book for anyone to read. It was a good book that had a lot of meanings and it was good for learning how to treat others. In ways I think I’m like Josh because he didn’t like being in a new place where he didn’t know anyone and was getting bullied but yet he didn’t give up and tried to keep his head high. I can’t think of another story at the time that I have read but I have heard stories of people getting bullied at school and it is really hard for them because they are scared to go to school and don’t like being there.
