  • A Teacher's Guide to the Leviathan Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld About
    A Teacher’s Guide to The Leviathan Trilogy By Scott Westerfeld About the Trilogy It is the cusp of World War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam- driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship and the most masterful beast in the British fleet. In this striking, futuristic rendition of an alternate past where machines are pitted against genetically modified beasts, Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides in the war. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, and together they embark on an around-the-world adventure, one that will change both their lives forever. In addition to the three novels, there is The Manual of Aeronautics, a lavishly illustrated, full- color companion. The Manual of Aeronautics is a guide to the inner workings of the Darwinist and Clanker powers. Loaded with detailed descriptions and elaborate illustrations of Darwinist beasties and Clanker walkers, weapons, transport, and uniforms, this manual highlights the international powers that Deryn and Alek encounter throughout their around-the-world adventures. This guide draws back the curtain and reveals the inner depths of Westerfeld’s fascinating alternative world. Book 1: Leviathan About the Novel Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn war machine and a loyal crew of men. Deryn Sharp is a commoner disguised as a boy in the British Air Service.

    Impostors By Scott Westerfeld September 2018 ISBN 9781760528249 paperback August 2019 ISBN 9781760876265 paperback Recommended for readers aged 13+ years / YA Summary Frey was raised to take a bullet. She's the body double for her twin sister Rafia—the precious heir of the first family of Shreve—and her existence is a closely guarded secret. So, while Rafi was schooled in poise and diplomacy, Frey was drilled in weapons and combat. Her purpose: to protect her sister from their tyrannical father's many enemies. When Frey is sent in Rafi's place as collateral in a precarious business deal, she becomes the perfect impostor—as elegant and charming as her sister. But Col Palafox, the son of a rival leader, is getting close enough to spot the killer inside her. As layers of deceit peel away, can Frey become her own person, and risk everything in a rebellion? * * * Scott Westerfeld is a master of worldbuilding—the art of creating an imaginary world with its own complex political and social conventions, history, geography and technical innovations. In his Uglies series he created a future-world in which teenagers are forced to undergo extreme cosmetic surgery to conform to society’s standard of beauty—until one teen rises up and rebels. Readers loved it, making it one of the most successful YA series to be published in recent years. While Impostors expands the Uglies universe, it is a standalone read. Fresh and thrilling, it introduces terrific new characters, superb new tech and a scary new city. Use in the curriculum While not a pure allegory, Impostors is a post-apocalyptic dystopia—a genre that has become increasingly popular with young adult readers and writers in the 21st century.
