=Characters= ==== Peter is a very intelligent and polite boy. ‍Peter’s mother and father are very loving to Peter.‍ Thea has no parents because they died in a boating accident, but her aunt is her guardian. Matthias is Thea’s best friend and she is very friendly. Lana is Thea’s aunt and her guardian. Fourteen-year-old Thea lives beneath the Earth's surface at the top of the world. Her ancestors settled in a secret world, beneath the icy regions of the north. Thea has never seen the sun and dreams of finding a way to the surface. Although her grandmother, Rowen --- the leader of the hidden colony --- forbids it, Thea and her cousin Mattias nevertheless strike out on their own, with two sleigh dogs to help lead them to find the passage to the "wider world." ==== =Setting=

=Problem=

Peter is trying to find proof to show everyone that the world that he discovered is real, but nobody believes him.
=Resolution=

Peter finally gets the people in the world to speak their minds, so everybody hears the voices he had been hearing all the time they were in Greenland.
=Theme=

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind!
This theme is deomnstrated because at the beginning, Peter didn’t tell everybody what he found because he was scared that they would expose the secret. With time and courage though, Peter found a way to get the people to speak their minds and everyone realize that what he claimed to be true really was.
