Book Reviews of Freak The Mighty
Book Review: A great book for 5th through 8th graders!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first started reading this book I thought it was a little strange. Than after the first few chapters were read, I was hooked! I do not remember much about the book because I read it a while ago. It is sure to be a favorite of children of all ages because it could be true. The characters are so realistic and the life they live is even better. Read the book!Book Review: A real page turner
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book because it is funny, and full of action. I also liked the book because it has sad parts, and happy parts. My favorite character was Kevin because he was funny, and brave. I also liked Max because even though he is big and strong, when he gets picked on he never fights. My favorite part of the book was when Max and Kevin help each other to get away from Blade. That was my favorite part because it shows that they are really friends. The ending was the best part but i'll let you find that out for yourself.Book Review: A reveiw by Brandon Cooke

Freak the Mighty Summary
By: Brandon Cooke
Freak the Mighty is a story of two kids who are challenged in life and meet when Freak moves in next door to max. They become friends and are soon known as freak the mighty. Freak is deformed, he has stopped growing on the outside but his organs are still growing normally. Where Freak is very smart, Max is considered mentally challenged. Max is always growing and is very big for his age. So Freak would sit on his shoulders and consider himself freak the mighty because of how he felt. Freak teaches Max about King Arthur and they go on imaginary adventures together. Max finds out that his father was released from prison. Freak believes that he will be given a mechanical body someday because of the growth of his organs will inevitably kill him someday. But on Christmas Eve Max is abducted by his father and tied up and held against his will. Will Freak rescue Max from this threatening fate? Will Max be able to put his father behind bars because Max witnessed what he really did? Can Freak overcome his illness? Freak The mighty is a moving and adventurous story of those who are challenged in life but complete tasks of the impossible. I highly recommend this book because of its great story line, Morals and attention to detail. It's a memorable story about friendship.
Book Review: A.Miller's review
Summary: 5 Stars
This book tells a heartwarming story about the unlikely yet compatable friendship of a learning disabled boy and a physically disabled boy. Combined, they find the strength and confidence needed to endure bullies, abusive fathers, and ultimately, death.
I teach sixth grade, and the students devour this book. Some of the vocabulary is a little lofty, but it is purposeful in creating character and does not appear to interfere with comprehension. Max's insecurities and Kevin's vulnerabilities appeal to students in middle school, and while they love the adventures and the humor, in the end, it is the characters that they find endless.

People aren't always what they seem like. In my book FREAK THE MIGHTY BY RODMAN PHILBRICK, Kevin's father abandons him because he didn't want a new baby who was disabled. So he left Kevin when he was a baby.
