Book Reviews of Max The Mighty
Book Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. I couldn't put it down after I bought it, and I read it all in one night! I still think 'Freak the Mighty ' (my favorite) is better, but I still love this one. I recommend this book to everyone. Rodman Philbrick is a great author.Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great story of the friendship between Max, a kid who is very large for his age and is not too bright, and Rachel, also called "worm" because of her huge interest in reading. The story begins at Max's house, where he lives with his grandma and grandpa, who he calls Gram and Grim. The first couple chapters walk you through a normal day in his life. First, walking to school, trying to avoid hoodlums who live on "the wrong side of the tracks. In his classes, being made fun of for being so big and not being so smart. And lastly, taking the bus, where kids simply annoy and annoy him, even though he could easily beat them up. Then the story turns around and shows you Rachel's horrible home life. Her mom is constantly beaten by her stepfather, a tall, lean man with a heart of stone. When Max realizes this problem, he rescues her and they set off on a long and adventurous journey across the country to find her real dad, who is thought to live in Chivalry, Montana. And this journey has plenty of surprises along the way.I really liked this book because I felt like I could relate to what some of the characters were going through.
I would highly recommend this book to any child or adult looking for a great story of friendship and determination. Also could be a good book to read along with your child.
Book Review: Great 5 Stars
This book is amazing! I read this book in reading group, and now my nickname is worm(my real name is Rachel, I'm 11, and I love reading)! Just as good as Freak the Mighty, if not better! Freak the Mighty and Max the Mighty are must reads if you enjoyed The Mysterious Benedict Society or The Kingdom Keepers!Book Review: Great Great Great Book
