What do fish have to do with anything?

I like this short story, it’s sort of a kids book mixed with real life and a mystery. I like how its real life, so people do live on streets and can’t afford a lot, and kids have no idea what’s going on, they think life always has a happy ending. So I like how the story does that. One thing I would change is I would expand the mother’s story, I would describe what wrong and why she is so protective. But other than that I really enjoyed it.
