Book Talk: //Freak the Mighty//



whether it really happened or not.” - Rodman Philbrick's //Freak the Mighty//


= //Freak the Mighty// is a magnificent story full of challenges, courage, and most importantly, friendship. =

= Was there ever a time in your life when you felt you didn't fit in? Meet Kevin (a.k.a. "Freak"), and his soon-to-be best bud, Max. Freak and Max share a common bond because they're different. From the outside, however, you'd never imagine they'd become friends! = = Freak, who is extremely intelligent, suffers from Morquio Syndrome, a disease that forces you to grow on the inside, but not the outside. Therefore, he's relatively small and weak. = = Max, on the other hand, is very large for his age. He's the "mighty" part of their friendship. Max lacks intelligence but learns a lot from Freak. Together they team up as "Freak the Mighty" to defeat villains and save each other from complicated situations that arise in their lives. =



= In the case of this story, opposites truly attract! Max and Freak work as one, but there __is__ a certain situation they cannot beat, no matter how hard they try. It is something that is kept somewhat secret from Max throughout their friendship, and it isn't until it's too late that he realizes what was really going on in Freak's life. = = = = Freak the Mighty will take you on quests and adventures, all while leaving you in suspense until you turn to the next page! = = READ THE BOOK TO DISCOVER THE SECRET HIDDEN WITHIN THIS AMAZING FRIENDSHIP! =
