Sensitive Topics
The book is largely secular and focuses on scientific wonder. There is a sense of isolation when the boy is away from home, but it is handled with a focus on discovery rather than abandonment. The aliens are depicted as benevolent and sophisticated, steering away from 'scary monster' tropes.
