Freak the Mighty
"Maxwell
Kane, a hefty yet awkward special ed student, has been in
the care of his grandparents since his father was sent to
prison for murdering his mother. When Max meets Kevin, a
physically disabled, undersized genius-type his own age, an unlikely
friendship develops between them. The antics they
experience together and the relationship they forge will
take the reader on a poignant journey through the novel that
will not soon be forgotten. Learning to accept yourself and
others, the meaning of loyalty and courage, and the many
optimistic messages this book communicates make Freak the
Mighty the perfect novel for awkward (and
not-so-awkward) middle-grade readers."
