- FREAK THE MIGHTY av Rodman Philbrick
- EXPONERING / KONFLIK
- STIGANDE ÅTGÄRD
- Freak the Mighty is the story of Max Kane, a 7th grader who takes after his father in that he is very large in stature. Despite looking the size of an adult, Max has trouble in school and has difficulty passing every grade. He has an undiagnosed learning disability coupled with trauma from losing his mother to violence at a young age. However, when Max meets Kevin "Freak" Avery his life begins to change.
- CLIMAX / TURNING POINT
- Kevin, med smeknamnet Freak, är extremt liten för sin ålder, bara cirka 3 meter lång i 7: e klass. Han lider av ett fysiskt tillstånd som gör det svårt att gå och har benstöd och kryckor. Freak är extremt välläst och har en häpnadsväckande vokabulär. Freak verkar veta allt om allt! Han är särskilt förtjust i litteratur och äventyrshistorier som de om "King Arthur". Båda pojkarna har svårt att navigera i mellanstadiet och slår upp en osannolik vänskap.
- FALLANDE ÅTGÄRDER
- Max and Freak form a close bond and go on many adventures together. Max often carries Freak up on his shoulders which earns them the nickname "Freak the Mighty" because together they are unstoppable. They outsmart bullies and attend all their classes together. Freak helps Max learn to read and write. Freak tells Max that one day he will get a "Bionic" body to help with his condition. One of Max and Freak's adventures leads them to the home of Iggy and Loretta Lee, two ex criminals who reveal that Max's dad is Kenny "Killer" Kane, in jail for murder.
- RESOLUTION
- Freak the Mighty
- Max's father killed his mother when he was a small boy. He has been in prison ever since but is up for parole. One night while Max is sleeping, Kenny kidnaps him and forces him to come with him to Iggy & Loretta's house, where he ties him up and tells him that he was unjustly imprisoned. When Max says that he knows Kenny killed his mother, he goes into a rage almost killing both Max and Loretta. Freak comes to the rescue just in time and outsmarts Kenny with a water gun!
- Maxs far skickas tillbaka till fängelset. Men deras lättnad är kortlivad. Freak får ett anfall och rusar till sjukhuset. Max får reda på att Freaks berättelse om en "bionisk" kropp var just det - en berättelse. Han visste att han inte skulle överleva sitt tillstånd, som kallas Morquio syndrom. Innan han går bort ger han Max en tom anteckningsbok som ber honom att skriva om alla deras äventyr tillsammans.
- Max takes Freak's passing very hard. He is depressed for about a year. Finally, he summons the courage to take out the blank notebook that Freak gave him and begin to write. It is here when the reader realizes that the book we've been reading is just that: Max finally channeling his grief into writing about his and Freak's "unvanquished" friendship and their epic adventures.
