There are a few themes in my book but the main theme (so far) is, fight for what you believe in, not what everyone else does. When Lena came to Ethan's school, everyone judged her because her uncle was Macon Ravenwood, the town shut-in. But that did not make Ethan dislike her, even though she did cause many unnatural things to happen. But he fought for her, not against her, like everyone else.

A poem that keeps coming up in this book is called Sixteen Moons. One line that shows figurative language is, "moon or Sun destroy me here." The moon or Sun, in reality, can't destroy you. But I think what this line means, referring to reality, is that the moon and Sun, as shown in the book, represent power, and in life, power can be used to your advantage or against you.
