Global uppvärmning har till slut förstört jorden och människorna har tvingats fly. En av deras rymdfarkoster kraschlandar på en planet och ett nytt samhälle växer fram ur spillrorna. Kola bor i samhällets medelskikt, The Middle. Hennes familj har en stark ställning i samhället och hon borde egentligen inte sakna något. En dag hör hon dock något på sina föräldrars kommunikationsenhet som får henne att vända ryggen till både sin familj och sitt hem i The Middle. Hon startar ett upplopp som gör att hon måste fly ner till The Lower. <br/><br/>The Lower är som en annan värld där endast den starkaste överlever. Kola lyckas med hjälp av läkaren Dr. Jack hitta en väg in i denna värld och allteftersom börjar hon se vilket samhälle hon faktiskt lever i. Medan hon utforskar The Lower finns i bakhuvudet hela tiden tankar kring de orättvisor som råder. Kan hon och de vänner hon skaffar sig på något sätt bidra till en förändring? <br/><br/>Kola, Parrot and Skunk är del 1 i en trilogi. Det är en framtidsdystopi där eleverna får läsa om och reflektera kring de orättvisor som ett dystopiskt samhälle innebär. Boken ingår i Libers serie English Short Novels och rekommenderas för helklassläsning i åk 9. <br/><br/>Ordfrekvensen i boken enligt korpus är: <ul> <li>87,1 % av orden ingår i de 1000 mest frekvent använda orden i engelska.</li> <li>92,2 % av orden ingår i de 2000 mest frekvent använda orden i engelska.</li> <li>93,8 % av orden ingår i de 3000 mest frekvent använda orden i engelska.</li> <li>95,1 % av orden ingår i de 4000 mest frekvent använda orden i engelska.</li> <li>95,7 % av orden ingår i de 5000 mest frekvent använda orden i engelska.</li> </ul> <br/><br/>Detta innebär att delar av texten kan vara något utmanande, men eleverna bör överlag ha en ganska god förståelse. Att gå igenom ord och fraser inför läsning rekommenderas. Eftersom ett dystopiskt samhälle skildras i boken så är det också bra att då och då stämma av referensramen med dina elever, t.ex. hur ett rättvist samhälle ser ut i jämförelse med ett där klasskillnader och orättvisor råder. Ett utdrag ur boken finns i Liber Engelska 9. <br/><br/>Till boken finns nedladdningsbara läsförståelsefrågor för läsning i helklass. Boken är helt fristående, men ett mer omfattande upplägg finns även i Liber Engelska 9 Digital.

The branch he sat on was creaking under his weight, but he didn´t seem to notice or care. He was shouting about being angry at his brother. I stood by the trunk and cried and begged him to come down, but he wouldn´t listen. <br/><br/>I will not come down until Gregoris has apologised to you! he insisted. There were two birds in the tree with my grandfather, one on each side of him. One of the birds was a dove, the other some sort of bird of prey, like a hawk or a falcon. <br/><br/>"If you won´t come down, will you at least save the dove? And look out for the other bird!" I cried out. Just as my grandfather reached out to the dove, the branch snapped.

A renowned scholar of the English language, Tolkien is today celebrated as the father of the high fantasy genre. Drawing on his knowledge of languages, mythology and legend, he created an entire alternative reality, Middle Earth, and populated it with hobbits, orcs, ents, dragons, magicians and giant spiders.<br/><br/>Packed with fascinating facts about Tolkien's life and labours, this delightful volume includes extracts from his works, letters and interviews, as well as from his contemporaries and admirers. It's a celebration of the writer whose imagination and creative genius changed the course of fantasy literature.<br/><br/><b>'I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.'</b><br/><i>The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)</i><br/><br/><b>'I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking...'</b><br/><i>Tolkien in a letter to Deborah Webster, 25 October 1958</i><br/><br/><b>In July 1915, Tolkien took part in the Somme offensive, the bloodiest battle of the Great War. While recovering in hospital from trench fever, he wrote his first Elvish word list, as well as the first fragments of what would become <i>The Silmarillion</i>.</b><br/><br/><b>The inspiration for <i>The Hobbit</i> came to Tolkien unexpectedly in the summer of 1930, while he was working his way through a huge stack of student essays. On a blank page he found himself scrawling, 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.'</b>
