Theme
There are a couple themes in this book. First, is to never give up hope. Gregor shows this by never giving up hope to get home safely with his sister and father. Second is to be confident to take risks, (smart risks). Gregor shows this by giving trying to give his life for the Underland and his family. Third and finally, is never to be afraid show who you are. First off I'll give this award all to Boots because she shows this about... All her life. She will straight up walk up to a giant creature a hug it if she's not in a grumpy mood, or she'll straight up smack it in the face if she is angry (which is rare) which this all shows she is ready to show her feelings in a interactive way.

She can even show it by first of all, she finds her self in the middle of a dark cave with a giant cockroach in front of her and runs around it yelling random things, and thinks, (this is totally normal day in my life and now I'm gonna hug this giant monstrous thing in front of me).
- Third main character is Luxa: She is straight up sassy and paranoid. She may be a queen and all but she got some guts and attitude. She only Gregor's age and has been tried to be disciplined without parents and that hasn't turned out well. She shows all of this by living her life on the Underland and also annoying Gregor all the time.
