TYPE OF CONFLICT: Poached is a character vs. character conflict. Teddy is trying to find out who stole Kazoo and whoever stole Kazoo is trying to not get caught and maybe even frame Teddy. Page 179 states," If I didn't figure out who Kazoo's kidnapper was before then, J.J. might not have any choice but to order my arrest.". This shows that Teddy is against another person in a character vs character conflict.

ARCHETYPES: Poached is a quest. Like other books in this series, Teddy has to solve a mystery, In Poached, Teddy has to figure out who stole the koala. I know this because on page 132 it says, " She might have hired Charlie to swipe Kazoo for her." This proves that Teddy is investigating who poached Kazoo the Koala.

POINT OF VIEW: Poached is written from the 1st person point of view. I know this because on page 57 Teddy says, " I protested." This shows that the book is in first person because Teddy says "I".

PREDICTIONS: I predict that Daniel will ask Raya to the dance and get brutally rejected. After that, Sara will ask Daniel to the dance. Later in the book, I think Daniel will find out what he likes and will quit football and join activities that he enjoys. I think that this will happen because Sara has talked to Daniel even though she never talks to anyone.

I started on 1/23/26. I finished on 3/12/26.

INCITING INCIDENT: Henry, the main attraction at Funjungle dies. The park says it was of natural causes, but Teddy doesn't think so. Teddy goes on a mission to find out who killed Henry.

I'm done with this book.

ARCHETYPES: This is overcoming the monster. The Antagonist is a human who threatens the NERDS and their homeland and the people in it. The NERDS have to defeat or overcome the monster or The Antagonist. (The antagonist's name in my book is The Antagonist.)

SUMMARY: The main characters are everyone in the NERDS and The Antagonist. The story is about the NERDS fumbling The Antagonists evil plan. The events take place because the NERDS need to stop The Antagonist's plan from taking over the world. The book is told in alternating chapters By skipping from place to place at different times.

VISUALIZE: The Antagonist attacks the store employees for not paying attention. On page 39 It says," They're in the next aisle over by the color-copy paper. The manager said." This describes the store and what he wants and because those are so familiar to me it is easy to picture a scene in a store with aisles where the Antagonist wants a three ring binder.

TEXT TO TEXT: Nerds is like a Spy Ski School. A group of young intelligent kids goes and thwarts a villain's plans. However this book is different because it is not as straightforward. It did not list the villain's name until about 40 pages in.

CHARACTERIZATION: Ben is a caring and well rounded person. In the book multiple times he reflects how he treats people and strives to do better. Ben thinks about Erica and how he said goodbye and he wishes he could change it. When he reunites with Erica he hugs her showing that he cares for her.

ANTAGONIST: The antagonist is Rufus Shang. He is developing a mine in Africa. Ben our main character is trying to blow it up to stop the mine. Murray Hill is also an antagonist. He is Ben's arch nemesis but they got trapped in Africa and have to save it together. While they are working together, Murray makes Ben's job a lot harder.

STATIC VS DYNAMIC: Ben Ripley is a Dynamic character. He hasn't changed since the start of the book. In the scene where he is on the run from Shang's men he does change by showing his knowledge, but in the book they state that he has always known the knowledge. Although, he has had this knowledge the entire book he is changing by showing the knowledge during the conflict.

CONFLICT: The conflict is character vs character and character vs society. Ben Ripley is currently in a scene where everyone is against everyone. He was ambushed by Murray Hill. Who was going to deliver Ben to the Shang's house. Then the principal of Ben's Espionage school, who was on Murray's side double crossed Murray. Now Murray and Ben are getting delivered together to the Shang's house.

PREDICTION: Ben Ripley is assigned on a mission without his girlfriend who is an accomplished spy. I predict that Erica, his girlfriend will secretly stowaway on the mission to join it. On page 44 Erica tries to sneak a tracker in Ben's suitcase. That shows that she is trying to follow Ben on the mission.

Point of View: Apollo is telling the story from the first person point of view. I know this because he uses words like I and my. On page 181 it says," I felt hollow, silly, ashamed for myself.". This shows that Apollo is telling the story.

Protagonist: The protagonist is Apollo, the Greek god of prophecy, music, medicine and many other things. He is taking the figure of a scrawny 16 year old as a punishment by Zeus. Apollo is very important in the story because he has been in every scene. I know this because he has been mentioned in every scene.

SETTING: The setting is Percy Jackson's apartment in New York city during the 2000s. The scene is Apollo and Meg getting cleaned up and recharging at the apartment. They are getting cleaned up from when Apollo got beat up and they are preparing for their journey to Camp Half-Blood.

GENRE: This book is both mythology and adventure. The genre is mythology, because it includes Greek gods,monsters,and demigods. It is also an adventure because the characters go on an adventure as the climax.

The God Apollo gets turned into human form and has to help a demigod to return to God form. Apollo gets claimed by a Demigod named Meg and they travel to Percy Jackson's House where they prepare for their journey to Camp Half-Blood.
