Freak the Mighty


The latest read aloud is the favorite of every class, every year--Freak the Mighty, written by Rodman Philbrick. This is the story of Max and Kevin, two misfits who become friends. Max is the writer of this story as the beginning circles around to be the end.

Max and Kevin each help the other, Max with his long legs and big body, and Kevin with his brain. Kevin is fighting a crippling disease, but Max's friendship helps him overcome some limitations. Max is trying to deal with the loss of his mother, and a father nicknamed Killer Kane. You can read more about this, as the language arts class builds a wiki page about the book.

I think the book ''Freak the Mighty'' was the best read aloud book that was read to me because it was funny and exciting. Another reason I liked this read aloud is because it was suspenseful. This is a great book to read. I recommend this book to others because I don't know of anybody who didn't like this book.

I agree with you guys. Freak is one of my all time favorites. I only read the first book in a series, though. I enjoy getting the series started. Now, you can go on with the next book. That is why I read the first book from the On the Run series.
