In Leech Mob: A Novel about a
Connecticut Gang, the topic of bullies and standing up to bullies runs through
the book. Upon moving and going to
a new school, Kelly first has problems with a gang of Jocks. So the readers can ask themselves, “Did Kelly deal with the
situation the right way?” and "What
other ways could he have dealt with the situation?" By choosing to fight back, Kelly made a few enemies;
however, by choosing to fight back, he also gained a little self-confidence.
A gang of Skaters and then, the Leech Mob
approach Kelly next. At these points, is Kelly handling bullies in a different manner? The reader can experience how different
gangs of kids handle problems with each other. After Kelly starts hanging out with The Leech Mob, they all have trouble with the Jocks - an older
gang of football players, and then later with the Empire State Skinheads, and last with
Hilltop Posse. How these kids
handle problems with each other is intriguing to read. We find it might be best
not to fear the other groups but to approach
each other in a more bold and, sometimes, good-natured spirit.
