Vecka 2

Welcome back to the final year of high school!

During the following weeks we will be reading the novel Girl missing by Sophie McKenzie.

You will practise: reading comprehension, writing and speaking + get some cultural knowledge. 

As an introduction to the novel, please look closely at the first page of the following internet site

This means that if you take the number of people living in the municipality of Gagnef and multiply it with 2 you get the number of children missing EVERY YEAR in just Australia!

Here is a short clip as an introduction to Girl Missing





What if everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie?

Lauren is adopted and eager to know more about her mysterious past. But when she discovers she may have been snatched from her family as a baby, her whole life suddenly feels like a sham. Why will no one answer her questions? How can she find her biological parents? And could her adoptive parents really have been responsible for kidnapping her? Running away from her family to seek out the truth, Lauren's journey takes her deeper and deeper into danger as she realises that someone wants to stop her uncovering what really happened when she was a baby... at any cost... 

A nail-biting YA thriller. Girl Missing has sold over 150,000 copies in the UK alone.
