the end
Tone
Throughout the book, the author mostly wants readers to feel excitement, especially at the climax and at the very end, because you don't really know for sure what will happen until you finish the series.
Crytpid Hunters
Style
-The author uses very descriptive words when describing a place or a character and there is a lot of dialog.
by Roland Smith
beginning of story-
Meeting their uncle
The mood was very depressing because Marty and Grace found out their parents went missing in the Amazon.
The mood at this time was a mix between exciting and suspicious, because they never knew they had an uncle, so what if this guy is a fake.

ending
Crashing in the congo
Omniscient
(narrator knows thoughts and feelings of all characters)
-I didn't know what to expect at this point; if Marty and Grace would die, or if they would make it back to their uncle.
The ending was very shocking and I didn't expect the book to end like that at all.
"The opening was just big enough for a human to fit through, or a chimp. Marty got down on his knees and listened. He heard a faint hooting."
