To Fight Or Not To Fight



John Harwood

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.

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is pure entertainment


Hey Guys,
After 8 years of writing Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang, I believe that it’s finally ready for ya! I promise you, your high school teachers will hate it –which means they’ll never assign you Leech Mob homework, so you have to be daring enough to read it on your own
         But what’s the novel about, you ask?  Basically kids torturing each other.  We do what we do best.  We get into street fights, we pull school pranks, we go to cool raves.  You’ll learn how to make poon-tang–not what you think.  Wait!  I think I should say here that you shouldn’t try anything that you read in this novel.  We got arrested a bunch of times–not good on the old college application!  So, this ain’t your regular novel.

Leech Mob Novel Appeals to Teens and to Reluctant Readers


Even though the school system tried to kill me, I survived because our gang was a cool bunch of friends who always had each other’s back in an otherwise unfriendly world. Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is the wisdom about growing up that I was able to get across enemy lines.  I leave it in the hands of you kids now, so start reading!
         What? You don’t like reading books?  Well, neither do I if you’re talking about most of the boring novels we were assigned to read in high school. But Leech Mob is altogether different.  It’s about high school kids who are experimenting with being adults.  We make lots of mistakes, but our lives go on.  Yep, there is some violence in the book, but the fights are real rather than glorified.  No one walks away a hero, and not everyone walks away.

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang explores dating in high school




Hey Girls,
Have you ever felt dissed by a guy?  If so, then there are several chapters in Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang that might interest you about high school dating. But Chapter 7 is the real clincher that will shock you ladies with "the players" approach.  Now I don’t mean to sound one-sided against the guys here... because I explain just how ruthless the girls can act in Chapter 10.  So you’ve got to read the book and look from both perspectives.

Being the new kid in high school, Kelly Hayes fights the bullies in Leech Mob Novel


It’s not easy being the new kid – especially when you’re new to high school and everyone has known each other - like - since the first grade. I know - cause I was in that predicament myself.   I had barely stepped off the school bus when I was in a fight on the first day of school. But the teachers didn’t want to spend any time investigating the incident.  They just assumed that I caused it rather than the school’s elite - a bunch of preps, jocks, and honor roll kids.  It’s weird how a thing like that can seem to go on for rest of your life! So read the book and decide if you agree or not.
