Freak The Mighty (12/3/09)

This Book of the week hopefully marked the start of a new era where a teacher presents a book rather than all students.

I never read many books anymore but I actually finished this one in 4 hours. (We all were left wondering how you can sit and read for that many hours without getting a headache! :D)

Maxwell Kane is feared and bullied because of his mental slowness and enormous size. But this is not the only cross he has to bear; Maxwell's father is in jail for murdering his mother. Kevin is smart, quirky and funny with insatiable curiosity and zest for life but he suffers from a rare genetic condition, which inhibits the growth of his body. Yet the combination of Kevin and Maxwell is formidable, when together they become Freak the Mighty.

This book has many ups and downs and did manage to make me cry at a point.


This book was adapted into a film and you can see the trailer for it at the end of this post.

This book won with ALL of the votes and was presented By Ms Alonistiotis.
