Freak The Mighty is a heartwarming , tear jerking book I really really enjoyed reading.. It has been made into a movie called The Mighty, which I had seen several times before I read the book.

The story is told from the perspective of Max, a giang kid who is probably destined for a life of jails and institutions. As a younger child, his father murdered his mother and is in prison. Max lives with his grandparents and is doing poorly in school, no friends, etc.

A new neighbor moves in next door, Kevin. Kevin has a disease that prevents his bones from growing while his organs grow normally. Kevin is extremely intelligent and full of knowledge and wit.

They become inseparable friends. Max starts carrying Kevin around on his shoulders and they become known as Freak The Mighty, with Kevin being “Freak” and Max being “The Mighty”.

Ive spoiled it enough for you already. The book and movemare both excellent. Must read/see.

Have a great day!
