Freak the Mighty

What a wonderful, joyful, heartbreaking, loving, feel-good book. Highly recommend it for any person who has ever felt left out, unaccepted and alone, any person or people who feels superior to others, and tend to bully or be-little, or anyone who just wants to understand the differences between all people. You may even see a piece of your childhood self in one of these two very different, but accepting of each other, individuals; heroes. Loved the story!

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.
