The theme of my book is to never give up on your dreams even if you think you are going to fail. This theme shows up in my book a lot. When Christopher  tries to meet his mom in London, England he thought about giving up but he kept with his dreams and strived to meet them. And then he took out his walkie-talkie and pressed a button and said, “Rob…? Yeah, it’s Nigel. I’m stuck on the bloody train. Yeah. Don’t even… Look. It stops at Didcot Parkway. So, if you can get someone to meet me with a car… Cheers. Tell his old man we've got him but it’s going to take a while, OK? Great.”

         And then he clicked his walkie-talkie off and he said, “Let’s get ourselves a seat,” and he pointed to two long seats nearby which faced each other, and he said, “Park yourself. And no monkey business.” (Chapter 197

Haddon) This shows that a policeman stood in his way of seeing his mother. That did not matter to Christopher. He kept on with his dreams. This theme emerges from the beginning of the book when his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, was killed and he wants to find out who did it. Christopher Boone is a very smart kid who does A level Math. He finds out his neighbor’s dog, Wellington died. He wanted to figure out who did it. After his dad told him not to do it he still did. After finding his investigation book he also found some letters his mom wrote to him from London.(His dad told him his Mother died of natural cause.) He then left his dad to go see his mom in London with a lot of problems along the way. When he reached his mom’s house he felt like home. After a couple of days of listening to his dad come to London and yell at him he decided to go back to Swindon with his mom and live with both of them. He continued to do his A level Math’s and he gained trust back in his dad.
