Freak the Mighty di Rodman Philbrick
Di Liane Hicks
Freak the Mighty racconta la storia di Max Kane, un alunno di seconda media di statura formidabile ma alle prese con una disabilità dell'apprendimento non diagnosticata e il trauma della perdita della madre a causa della violenza in giovane età. Il nuovo vicino di Max, Kevin "Freak" Avery, sembra essere l'esatto opposto. Le piccole dimensioni di Freak sono dovute a una rara malattia genetica che gli rende difficile camminare. Dopo aver stretto un'amicizia, Max inizia a portare Freak sulle spalle e così nasce "Freak the Mighty"!

Testo Storyboard
- Diapositiva: 1
- Morquio SINDROME
- "I could tell you all the medical terminology, but what finally happened is his heart just got too big for his body."
- Freak/Kevin has "Morquio syndrome", which is a rare genetic condition that affects a child's bones and spine, organs and physical abilities. Kevin's organs continued growing while his skeletal system remained small. This is what caused him many health problems.
- Diapositiva: 2
- AMICIZIA
- Kevin e Max sviluppano una strana amicizia. All'inizio, Max è sbalordito dall'enorme vocabolario di Kevin e dalle sue differenze fisiche. Tuttavia scopre presto che Kevin è la persona più interessante che abbia mai incontrato e formano uno stretto legame. Entrambi si sollevano a vicenda in modi diversi, anche letteralmente!
- Diapositiva: 3
- FAMIGLIA
- Max suffered losing both his mother and his father to violence at a young age. He has been cared for by his grandparents who, too, are grieving the loss of their daughter. Kevin's father left when he was a baby apparently because of his medical issues and is raised by his single mother. However, together they form a loving and supportive family.
- Diapositiva: 4
- TRAUMA
-
- Max witnessed the violent loss of his mother at the hands of his father at the tender age of four. His trauma reveals itself in different ways: lashing out at school since pre-school, earning him the nickname "kicker", difficulty learning, nightmares, and being fearful of trusting or befriending anyone until "Freak" comes along.
- Diapositiva: 5
- IL DIZIONARIO
- Kevin gives Max a dictionary for Christmas. It is a hand-written book of all his favorite words along with insightful and humorous definitions. Since they bonded over storytelling, learning to read, and Freak increasing Max's vocabulary, this is a meaningful gift from the heart.
- Diapositiva: 6
- THE BLANK NOTEBOOK
- "I want you to fillit up with our adventures."
- Before he goes for his "operation", Kevin gives Max a blank notebook and tells him to "fill it up with our adventures". In this way, Kevin shows Max that he believes in him and his ability to write. He also offers Max a way to remember him and their special times together. Without Max realizing it at the time, it also gives him a way to process his grief.
- Diapositiva: 0
- "We're Freak the Mighty, that's who we are. We're nine feet tall, in case you haven't noticed." That's how it started, really, how we got to be Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world"
