His and his

Hi,

Among the two his in boldface, is the first his referring to Josiah, and second his referring to the giant?
Josiah still clutched his book, but the giant’s massive thumb pinned his arm against his side, preventing him from swinging it as a sword.

Thank you

Hi, Yes, in terms of grammar. Although I think the writer intends the last two uses of 'his' to refer to Josiah. Clive
