Dear Mrs. Zrihen

                 I am currently reading “The 39 clues” by Gordan Korman. The genre of the book is fiction because it tells about kids going all over the world to find them for the race. The characters are Dan, Amy Cahill, Mozart, Saladin, and Nellie. The protagonist are everyone, the antagonist is the Opponents. The setting is in a hotel, mozarts house, and Vienna. The exposition is at home, the rising action is going to a hotel, the climax is finding the first clue from Mozart’s music. So the Book so far is about 2 kids named Dan and Amy. In the morning Dan saw this race around the world to find the clues so when he came to dinner he asked his mom if he can go with Amy to find them, so she said yes but with a parents permission. When they were on a train to Vienna, Dan had problems finding a seat because the train was crowded with old people. Before they left the train a person was talking in Spanish and Dan couldn’t understand him, so he thought it was something bad so he made a run for it. When they got to their hotel, Dan and Amy went to look for a clue in a mysterious place, so they went to Mozart’s house and checked if whatever he did had a clue in it. When they read his music they found a clue. Also from that clue they read a book and realized that he had an older sister. When they came back to the hotel and ate lunch and thought about where the 2^nd clue must be. (this story will continue when I read the whole book)
