* AdultsAreUseless: Jumpin' and Maude provide Kya intermittent support (unreliable, Jumpin' only buys seafood from her if he happens not to have bought from other suppliers and Maude getting Kya a bra is treated as a big deal) but otherwise Kya gets no adult support at all once her AbusiveParents leave - unless you count Tate as adult support, once he turns 18 and begins a romantic relationship with her.

* SwampsAreEvil: Played with. All the people in Barkley Cove think of the Marsh as something mysterious and dangerous, so a girl surviving out there alone needs to do unspeakable things for it. Therefore, many people fear Kya as much as the Marsh itself.

* SwampsAreEvil: Played with. All the people in Barkley Cove think of the Marsh as something mysterious and dangerous, so a girl surviving out there alone needs to do unspeakable things for it. Therefore, many people fear Kya as much as the Marsh itself. The novel also seems to differentiate between the Marsh - a place full of life, beauty, vibrance, etc. - and the Swamp - dark, treacherous, messy, etc. - as the novel's two parts are titled after and reflect these attributes.
