Book Reviews of Freak The Mighty (Scholastic Signature)
Book Review: I can't say enough about this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Freak the Mighty" is a work of genius by Rodman Philbrick. One cannot say enough about this text.Not only are the characters so well developed that you really feel what they're going through, but it's written in a way that transcends time. It's not often that I read a book and then feel like gushing on and on about it, but this one really made the cut. Mr. Philbrick, if your reading this, I'd like to say Thank-You, from the bottom of my heart for writing such a poignant portrayal of two friends who really know what it means to love despite differences.Book Review: the new movie "the mighty"

Summary: 5 Stars
what first prompted me to pick up this book was a movie preview i saw. it looked amazing and my mother mentioned to me that it was based on a book. i spent the better part of my weekend searching for that book. my local library didn't have it, and a few of the book stores i visited didn't have it either. when i finally found the book two towns over i bought it without even looking it over i was so confident that it was worth my time and money. when i got home i read it, all at one sitting. and when i was done, i read it again. i recomend this book for anyone, i've passed it on to my best friend, and he's passed it on to his.Book Review: A book that all middle school students should read!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am currently studying to be an english teacher, and came across this book while doing an independent project for my literature class. I thought it was a very spirited novel that made me smile and cry, at the same time. There are so many themes in this novel, and more than one lesson to be learned. It is a great book to use in the classroom, and Max's character is identifiable with the loners of the school or the kids who tend to be less outgoing and less noticed. The way a child's disability is dealt with is also a good lesson for students, and of course the issue of dealing with a friend's death is present in this novel as well. It is hard for students to understand why kids their age have terminal illnesses and this book helps them to prepare for that in some way, as well as helping them to overcome their fears and unanswered questions concerning death. There is so much to be said about this work of literature but I do not have the space to say it. I think everyone should read it, especially english teachers so that they can teach it in their classes. I can only hope the movie is half as enjoyable!
