Something the author did great was that he had realistic details and a hopeful ending. People like this book because they could have the same problem. I like the language the author uses because it is easy to understand. It is also exiting. I compare this book to Ramona the Brave because her big sister bullies Ramona. Ramona feels like Alex I enjoyed his book because it was about bulling and a lot of kids know how it feels to be bullied. A specific reaction that the author did was that Brick Johnson thought little kids how to read. He also wrote something you wouldn't expect to happen in the end.
