  11. I think the features of a mystery narrative are as follows:
    .Setting- this is where an action takes place.It could be where the end battle takes place, or simply where a detective finds clues.
    .Suspense (or a cliffhanger)- this is where you start to feel tense. You start to worry for the characters and you don’t want to put the book down.
    . Evidence- this is really important because the detective can solve the case. Also, the reader can put all the evidence together to try and solve the case themselves.
    .Characters- If there are no characters in the story , there won’t be a story! It’s important to have a hero/heroine or a detective in the story because that will make it more mysterious and they can save the day.

    Wild Boy conforms to this genre because Wild Boy is a detective. He looks for the clues and puts them together to solve the case. It is full of suspense and have loads of cliffhangers. Also, it is set in a variety of places.

Wild Boy relates to this because the villein could be Malphas, the detectives are Wild Boy and Clarissa(they are also heroes)and in book one somebody was murder. some over books i know which are mysterious are Sherlock Holmes, Darkmouth and I know what you did last Wednesday.

  13. The features of a mystery narrative are:building suspense, cliffhangers at the end of chapters, detectives, heroes/heroins and villains. Also there are things like disappearances of people or things, murders and kidnappings. In addition the settings are sometimes magical inside forests and space are just some examples of mysterious settings. Furthermore the bad guys are normally people like animals or mad and crazy scientists. Famous detectives include Sherlock Holmes, The Diamond Brothers and The Famous Five. Famous books include I Know What You Did Last Wednesday and Wild Boy.

  14. The features are sometimes baddies or sometimes goodies. In the mystery books needs to have a hero/heroin, a killer or a baddie and at the end of the story needs to end with a happy end. Eg.: the hero destroyed the baddie…
    In the Wild Boy & The Black Terror story the Wild Boy is brave, clever and curios about the things he find somewhere secret or special, his brave because he can fight everyone if he can, his clever because he knows someones feelings, someone is in danger or he can feel that someone or something is near him or is coming for him.

  15. In a mystery book there will always cliffhangers to make you feel scared and a bit of suspense . As well as that , there is wild scary adjectives to make the reader interested.
    In WILD boy there is a change because in wild boy there is a black diamond but we all though that the person that was after them was a man but it is a women . Also, there is a nice range of punctuation when somebody is speaking .
