Publisher Description

Meet Maxwell Kane, narrator of Freak the Mighty. He’s a timid soul stuck in the body of a teenage giant with size 14 shoes. Haunted by a dark secret in his past, he hides out in his basement room, avoiding the world. But when a new kid moves in next door Max’s life changes forever. The two outcasts form the ‘normal’ world team up to become “Freak the Mighty.” Like knights of old they defend the weak, right every wrong–and solve the mystery of Max’s past. Proving once and for all that courage comes in all sizes.

"I thought Freak the Mighty was very funny and had a good plot. It has interesting characters and the main character's descriptions on life was funny. It's the kind of book where you just can't skip to the end of the book to find out about the whole book. You really need to read the book to understand the whole plot. I would recommend this book to my friends."

    " I remember reading this book in 7th grade; it was a book I enjoyed quite very much. It was the first book I was exposed to that was so raw with emotion and I really appreciated it, as I still do now. This is a beautiful story. Whether you're young, old, or in between, make sure you squeeze this short, touching novel into your life. You won't regret it. "
