What makes an Adventure story?
Mystery stories:
- centre around a main character/s quest to solve a crime;
- involve suspense, the antagonist is not revealed until the very end;
- draw the reader into the investigation, the author leaves clues through the story;
- do not mirror real life; and
- may involve a hero, who as a result of his/her story, is changed by the experience.
