Philbrick, Rodman. Freak the Mighty. NY: Scholastic, 1993. 160 pages. (General Fiction)Max has always been called dumb, slow, and stupid, while Max’s cousin Freak is really smart, but really short. Max’s father is an inmate in prison for trying to kill Max several times and supposedly murdering a citizen. While Freak and Max became best friends, Freak found out that he had a disease that was going to leave him in braces and crutches for life. I think that this book was astonishing. I would recommend it to readers who like a good story.
