The theme is loss. Loss can affect people negatively and positively, I know this because when her father got arrested she got up and kept going to take his place. When they unsuccessfully tried to rescue her dad she cried and cried, but it didn’t stop her from working. This is why I believe loss is a good theme.

He got sent to the principals office and the principal accidentally registered him for the “brainiac” school. He has to hide out at the school while coping with the challenges there.

When he goes to the brainiac school he finds out some of his friends are going to have to do summer school for growth, health, and development. He decides to convince his pregnant sister to help them out so they don’t have to go to summer school. He starts to become a caring and helpful person.

DISCLOSURE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS GOING TO SOUND CRAZY AND RIDICULOUS AND MIGHT NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.

My theme is Fear. I think fear is the best theme for this book because there are so many examples of it, one example is when they are driving through the “Taco Bear” and they open up there box of tacos a whole bunch of demon squid tacos jump out of the box. They are in fear and yelling and screaming. Another thing is when they drive back to there school all their friends and mom are hypnotized and under control. This is proves they are in fear because they might not see their loved ones again. One last thing is when they start to get sucked down into earth and the teeth monster try’s to attack them. I think they are in fear of dying. Hence why I think fear is one of the best themes.

He has a sister who has a different foster family on the other side of town. He loves his sister very much but does not get to see her all that often. She goes to school and her teacher Mrs. Marcus teaches her how to express her feelings through poetry.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lonnie’s writing is important because a lot of things have happened to her in her life. For example, she lost her parents in a house fire, she was separated from her sister, and lives in a foster home. For these reasons, I think her writing is important because it is how she expresses herself. She needs this to get her feelings out.

I think a good theme for this book is perseverance can lead to good things. One reason I think this is because she has to go through a house fire and lose her parents and then she still goes to school and makes interactions with people is amazing. Another reason is she doesn't get to see her sister all that often and you can tell she really loves her sister. For all the reasons listed above she still has a good life and friends and seems to be pretty happy, I think Perseverance can lead to good things is a good theme.
