![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is written from a third person point of view. The main characters are Gavin, Gavin's sister Danielle, Aunt Mrytle, Aunt Mrytle's dog Carlotta, and Richard. I just read a realistic fiction named "Dog Days", written by Karen English, illustrate by Laura Freeman. Young kids might find it funny, but I just found it upsetting. Sure, he helps to look for the dog when it goes missing but doesn't do anything. Gavin is picked on by every person, and even Richard who's supposed to be his friend doesn't do anything but goes along with it. ![]() She also has ridiculous rules on how the dog needs to be walked and is annoyed that the dog hasn't pooped even though she told Gavin to bring the dog back soon. Then she stays for a week and Gavin has to take care of her terrible dog as punishment for breaking the snow globe. Who cares if he eats them one at a time as long as he eats them!? He wasn't even fussing about it, he knew he had to eat them, and so he did, but she's sitting there glaring at him the whole time and his parents aren't doing anything about it. Then his Aunt Myrtle comes to dinner and forces Gavin to eat his peas even though he gags the whole time. His sister enjoys making him miserable and his parents don't seem to care. He blames Gavin for not catching it, and Gavin gets into trouble. Gavin and his friend Richard sneak into Gavin's sister's room, and Richard breaks a snow globe. It's well written, and I like Gavin's character but everyone else is horrible. ![]()
