Setting and Conflict

The book is happening in a city called Stonetown, near a port called Stonetown harbor is where Reynie lives. He lives in a orphanage for he is an orphan himself. But the main setting of the book is on Nomansan Island. Nomansan Island is obviously an island who Mr. Curtain bought and built his school. The island has cliffs and hills and a lot of trees. It is a very green and pretty place but the island has a lot of traps in the ground. On the island like I mentioned there is a school. That school is a very big school. Connected to the school is a very big tower, which is Mr. Curtain's.

The book is happening in our time. I'm not really sure what year but I guess 2006 or 2007. Just a guess.

The main conflict of my novel is that Mr. Curtain created this school / organization. Obviously children go to this school and it is like any other normal school. Except for 1 simple detail. Mr. Curtain trains a couple of students each year to become messengers. Messengers are children who say any word but there is a special computer which translates that word into another word. It only works with children voices though. Anyway the word that computer makes is like a code. So if a child says I love apples, the computer will translate it to a secret code sentence. That code is very dangerous though cause it can destroy the world or create big problems. Mr. Curtain is also know as the sender because he takes the secret code and he sends it to other schools and that's how they communicate secretly and nobody will know what it means. Of course once you become a messenger you are not aloud to leave the school or tell anybody about the school. Mr. Curtain also takes random people and drains out their memory and makes them his servants.

The people who are involved in this conflict are Mr. Curtain, Mr. Benedict, Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance because Mr. Curtain is the person who created this conflict. Mr. Benedict is trying to solve this conflict, so he hired these 4 kids to go to the school. Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance because once they become messengers they are not allowed to leave the school which means that they are stuck in the school forever and if they try to escape they are in grave danger or they might get brainwashed.

I think that if Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance continue getting good grades then they could become messengers and then they send the secret messages with Morse code to Mr.  Benedict then they could think of something to destroy Mr. Curtain and his school.
