SUMMARY: The book overall was a very good book. In the end Teddy eventually found out the murderer and caught someone smuggling in emeralds. Teddy did it and rescued his parents. It was a very interesting, thrilling book.

CONFLICT: The conflict is character vs. society. Teddy is trying to figure out who killed Henry, but once he started to learn more he realized the Funjungle's higher ups were corrupt. Once he got help from his parents the corrupt stopped him and arrested his parents. Now the only person left is him.

POINT OF VIEW: The point of view in my book is the 1st person narrator. In the book it says "I picked up the mask and put it on" and "I" is referring to Teddy. This shows the story is being told in first person.

PROTAGONIST: The protagonist in the story Is a 12 year old boy named Theodore. Currently Theodore is spying on Docs autopsy on the Funjungle's dead mascot, Henry the hippo. Theodore is a very curious kid and likes to mess around.

The setting of the story currently is in the Funjungle zoo. That's not the only setting though, our main character Teddy goes to Doc's office and Martin Del Gato (The owner of the Funjungle). He goes back and forth and acts as a messenger.

The genre of the book is a mystery. It takes place in the Fun jungle where there are thousands of animals. In the Fun jungle there are a bunch of animals and because there are so many some can get sick and some can even die, but the fun jungle's mascot (Henry) has become belly up.

I just started this book today and it's a funny book. So far its a great book.
