I finally finished "A Creature Of Moonlight" after 313 pages of romantic, mind blowing fantasy. Since I have already done a summary of the first part of the book I will only write about the second part. I left of where the King is trying to kill Marni, so what happens is that Marni is taken to jail but she manages to escape. Now, Marni doesn't have anywhere to go. Her grandfather's hut is to painful to look at and she can't go to the castle so Marni goes to the only other place she knows, the woods. Marni goes on a tiring journey up a huge mountain where she will find the only person who really nows anything, her father. Marni thinks she's finally found a good home but after a few years of living with beautiful creatures she finds out that her grandfather isn't really dead. Now Marni has a purpose so of she goes once again to become a princess and find her grandfather.
The theme of this book is that home is not always a place but a person. Throughout the book Marni goes to different places with different people but it never really feels like home. Marni goes to this lavish castle where you laugh all day and sit by a huge fireplace with a man who just might be in love with you. Then she goes to this magical place where you can turn into any kind of animal you want and spend your days with absolutely no responsibilities. Almost anyone would want to stay in either places but Marni didn't. Marni felt lonely with out the people she loved and when she found out that her grandfather was alive she had to find him. In the text Marni says, "Home. We're going home to Gramps." and then " Gramps, there's nowhere I'd rather be than right here." This shows that the only place Marni wanted to be was with her grandfather.
