Freak the Mighty
Age Level:
Middle Grade They say opposites attract. That is very true in the case of Max and Kevin. Max, a self-described “butthead goon,” is an extra large eighth grader labeled learning disabled. Kevin, known as Freak, is highly intelligent and suffers from a rare dwarfism syndrome. Literally put the two together — Freak rides on Max’s shoulders — and you’ve got Freak the Mighty, brawn and brains out for adventure, fighting the good fight for good causes.
