The summary, as the last summary I did, is just a boy named Peter. He was a pitcher, but due to an unfortunate accident, he is unable to play at all anymore. Not only is this the beginning to a horrible first year of high school, but adding onto that, Peter's grandfather is showing the early symptoms of a disease. He's really close to his grandpa, so he isn't ready to accept it. With all this going on, Peter takes a liking to a girl named Angelika.
Now, from where I left off, all I can really say is Angelika and Peter work with each other in class quite a lot. That leads them to begin liking each other more than friends. Since this is in Peter's P.O.V, he's been wanting to date her and get closer to her ever since he saw her, do he's thrilled. Which makes one thing to brighten his year up.
Now, for the theme. I believe the theme is that no matter what happens, things get better. Peter had baseball, pretty much the only thing he loves, and it was ripped away from him. He began photography with his grandfather, but as I said, he is beginning to get sick. Now his grandfather, the person he's the closest to, is about gone. He isn't the same, so he can't enjoy photography anymore with him. Right there, with the stress of school as well, everything is just piling up. It seems like nothing will ever be the same again, like you'll never be as happy as you were before everything went bad. But, with just the right people, they make you forget. New things happen; exciting things. They soon replace the old things. What you thought would never happen again, has happened. You're happy again, possibly even happier.
That's my take on it. I'm sure other will think differently, but I like to think this is it.
